Artists and Musicians Engage with Cavafy's Poetry
"Paola Prestini, the curator of 'Archive of Desire,' has brought together a new set of creators for the festival. They have thoughtfully engaged with his writing, resulting in works—sometimes illuminative and striking, sometimes more perfunctory—that take as their collective point of departure Cavafy’s self-assessment as 'an ultramodern poet, a poet of the future generations.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Cecily Parks on "Girlhood"
"Readers and writers of ecological poetry long ago abandoned the notion that representation alone equates to an ecological engagement with the natural world. This line of thinking draws ecopoetry and ekphrastic poetry into an agreement: description is valuable if it’s rhetorical. Rhetorical is another way of saying persuasive, or moving, but it is not another way of saying pedantic." |
