An Interview with Poet Lindsay Turner
"The Upstate came about differently. I mentioned 'rage' above, and this is a book about (among other things), being angry. I began writing these poems in the fall of 2016, which was a really strange time for me. It's too reductive to say that this book is about living through the Trump years in upstate South Carolina, although it is that: the day after he was elected, I was not surprised, but I was devastated and scared."

What Sparks Poetry:
Brian Teare on Other Arts
"In exceeding the frame of visual description, ekphrasis in the expanded field refuses to dwell only on the surface experience of visual art—or film or dance or music. Going outside of the frame and beneath the surface, it engages with another art by reconceptualizing and recontextualizing it: in its historical and cultural and subcultural contexts, its critical reception, its making and materials." |
