"The Bard of Capitalist Realism"
"Bonney’s poetry is as fully commensurate with the fevered, queasy, anxious, often tedious nature of the current global mood as that of any of his more lauded contemporaries. Bonney’s poetry is not of the graduate seminar but of the picket line, not for the poetry reading but for the punk show."

What Sparks Poetry:
Arda Collins on Mary Ruefle's “The Bench”
"[T]he argument about the bench, like many arguments, is about truth. The participants both believe their bench is the true bench. Despite the argument’s low stakes, it describes the larger philosophical positions of the speaker and the husband. The speaker describes her bench in terms of the eternal; the husband’s bench is mortal." |
