"You Have to Embrace the Doubt"
Poet and translator Jennifer Grotz reminds Bennington Writing Seminars graduates of the power of uncertainty. "But in fact, one’s doubt at the possibility of being a writer is the necessary and therefore precious precondition to being a writer. It’s the way in which you solve the dilemma, the kind of literary authority you claim and the way in which you claim it, that makes you one."

What Sparks Poetry:
Lena Crown on Taneum Bambrick's Vantage
"No tagline could hold all that Bambrick has achieved: a sweeping portrait across time of a community beholden to a single, monumental piece of infrastructure, a queer coming-of-age, a specific yet universal story of ecological death and climate resilience. This is a landscape where the drowned and concealed do not stay that way; monoliths crack and water levels fall, revealing what we’ve jettisoned, sacrificed, tolerated into obscurity." |
