| I love the idea of a poem as a house made of breath, and the fact that the word stanza is Italian for room. So poetry is something that can reside in the body: an invisible form that inhabits us, but that we also inhabit. It's a lovely paradox, and I imagine the place this work came from... Michael Bazzett on "When They Built the House," |

What Sparks Poetry:
Jennifer Kronovet on Celia Dropkin's "A Fear Growing in My Heart"
"Brazenness, surprise at my own flagrant flowering, disgust and enthrallment with my physical transformations, and a bloody lust: all of these things that Dropkin experienced, I have been able to experience on her terms, through them. Would I have known how to without her words? Would I have known how to come through the other side dripping with lyric instead of wrecked by frameless feeling?" |
