"50 Contemporary Poets on the Best Poems They Read in 2024"
Sara Eliza Johnson, author of Vapor, on “Art After War” by Oksana Maksymchuk, originally published in Cincinnati Review: "I am in love with the trajectory of linguistic transformation in this poem, the energetic tension it cultivates between violent destruction and creation, the surreal and associative dream-logic that eventually parts to say the heartbreaking truth of reality so simply: that 'lives are fragile & can get broken.'"

What Sparks Poetry: Cynthia Cruz on Reading Prose
"With capitalism, this constructive destruction is perverted and, instead of constructivity arising from destruction, we have only pure destruction. Stanzas four through six speak to this destruction, capitalism’s contamination. In, for example, the lines, 'Damage/from the inside,' the contamination occurs through subject formation which means it happens internally, through the mind." |
