First Poetry Periscope in North America Arrives in Buffalo
"The green tube that resembles a periscope, peeks out of the ground. To use it, you crank the handle on the side 10 times, then use the button to select among 43 poems and songs. English teacher Larry Desautels said he was first inspired to bring one of these to his school when he and his wife came across one in Ireland."

What Sparks Poetry:
Robert Pinsky on David Ferry's "Johnson on Pope"
"The influence between texts seems to flow in mulitple, volatile, anachronistic directions. It’s perhaps even wrong for me to say that the poems are based on Celan’s and Bachmann’s correspondence. The correspondence is one source, but from these letters, Jäderlund’s poetry is brought into contact with Hölderlin, Heidegger, Shakespeare, Rilke and others. Like Manny Farber’s infamous concept of 'termite art,' Jäderlund’s writing 'goes always forward eating its own boundaries.'" |
