"Jean Valentine, Minimalist Poet With Maximum Punch"
Remembering the work of Jean Valentine, who died on December 29, the former poetry editor of The New Yorker, Alice Quinn, said, “She was brilliant at evoking the power of love and the endlessness, the indwelling aspect of eternity that we feel....She reproduces the drama of recalled words and moments, which manage to convey the ineffable.”

What Sparks Poetry:
Donna Stonecipher on "études"
"I have read a wide shelf’s worth of books of translation theory, but when I actually sit down to translate, especially poetry, all of that beautifully formulated theory goes out the window, and I am faced with the poet’s mind, and my mind, and how I am going to get them to work together." |
