"A Conversation with Cyrus Cassells"
"I don’t believe in prescriptions about writing. A poet is challenged, with every poem, to say what needs to be said—some may deem that dynamic political, since truth-telling and authentic questioning, two of poetry’s paramount tasks, are inherently political. Rukeyser and Rich have been major influences since the start of my writing career."

What Sparks Poetry:
Wong May on In the Same Light
"Writing poetry or reading a poem is by nature a transgressive act.
You are transgressing a stranger’s consciousness. This stranger may be yourself.
Translating an ancient text & you are transgressing above all against Time.
When the work goes well, you are translating without acknowledging Time." |
