What Sparks Poetry:
CAConrad (THE OPEN ROAD) on Ecopoetry Now
"Remember a few years ago, I asked you to cut my arm with your bowie knife, so I could write a poem while observing my cells in their 27-day repair cycle? There is something special about having the body be part of the writing experience, and with these birds and animals in the desert, each one is assigned a spot on my body....Locating an animal on myself is an incredible way to enter the writing." |

"Ada Limón Makes Poems for a Living"
"The first book she wrote after leaving New York, 'Bright Dead Things,' was born of a failed novel, she said, and that was the book that really started to change things for Limón. A finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, it has now sold more than 40,000 copies."
