Poet Lynn Emanuel on Writing Her New Collection
"Emanuel notes that her previous work had a 'joyousness with the language, and also a kind of playfulness.' But writing the poems in the new collection was 'more of a struggle....At the beginning of the pandemic it was really easy for me to write,' Emanuel explains. 'But that washed away. It became difficult. Sometimes in an interesting way, sometimes in a not-so-interesting way.'"

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." |
