A Conversation With Elena Sikelianos and Rosa Alcalá
"Poetry is a phylogeny in that it is a system of relations. The relations of poetry are revealed through sound, aural images, the living voice, and all the other modalities poetry is able to gather and use. Poetry is a remembering of tongue, to paraphrase Jacques Roubaud."

What Sparks Poetry:
Eli Payne Mandel on Reading Prose
"As a poet and therefore complicit in the making of poems, I have tried to weasel out of this problem—the problem of poems in and against the world—by writing prose poems and poems about prose. Conventionally, the world is prosaic. It unfolds in ribbons of tweets and advertisements. Also: graffiti somewhere in the northern Italy. If my poems attended to and participate in this prose, perhaps they would tell me, or you, something about the crisis we call the present." |
