As to the inspiration for their poem, "the sunrise of jaqueline," tanner wrote:
"I work from the extreme present & utilize a variety of techniques for taking myself into the moment. In that way my poems are spontaneous eruptions. Whereas they may gravitate around certain thematic masses my poems erupt in the moment. My poetic process is becoming a volcano."
