"The Poetry of Embarrassment: On Three New Collections"
"Three recent volumes, authored by very different poets at varying points in their careers, exemplify this lyrical penchant for understatement, as it has surfaced, and survived, many waves of American poetry: The Leniad (2023) by Nathaniel Rosenthalis, Midwood (2022) by Jana Prikryl, and, to a lesser but no less provocative extent, The Shining (2023) by Dorothea Lasky."

What Sparks Poetry:
Kerry Folan on A Community Poetry Reading in Response to Violence
"I stay tuned in to the conversations happening in my community, and try to respond with events that respond. Like the rest of the world, my community has been watching the images of violence and reports of destruction of the past several months with despair. I wanted to offer my community a way to bear witness to all this suffering in a way that felt meaningful and respectful, and felt strongly that poetry can help us in this moment." |
