Nick Ripatrazone discusses new poetry from Adrienne Su, Rosebud Ben-Oni, Kerrin McCadden, Dennis James Sweeney, Raymond Antrobus, and Karen Fish. Of Adrienne Su's book, he writes, "Peach State is so deliciously crafted through food that it makes me wonder why poetry is written about anything else."
Poetry Daily stands with the Black community. We oppose racism, oppression, and police brutality. We will continue to amplify diverse voices in the poetry world. Black Lives Matter.
"This is a big and funky and radical project. And so it gets walked out slowly....I think a lot of people who criticize different kinds of projects also don't understand what we mean. We’re putting a million books in prisons, and that's not even what I would imagine to be the kind of scale that I want a project like this to exist on. We want this Freedom Library to serve the same purpose as the libraries you find in people’s homes."
