What Sparks Poetry:
Danielle Badra on Diane Seuss' "Still Life with Turkey"
"All of these cumulative experiences of death and all the ones yet to come and all the deaths that aren't even in my view, they are my beached whale. They are beautiful yet difficult to see up close. The only way I've ever been able to explore is from a safe distance. However, the exploration of death in all of Diane Seuss' poetry collections inspires me to zoom in a little closer, to love 'its saggy neck folds, the rippling, variegated / feathers, the crook of its unbound foot.'" |
