What Sparks Poetry:
Erin Marie Lynch on Reading Prose
"My family's archive was haunting me. Or the archive beneath the archive, the archive against the archive. The archive that could be for us. I was trying to trace the movements of my ancestors backwards, from Oregon to Standing Rock to the Dakota homelands in Minnesota. I needed to find out whether my great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth, had been involved in the forced march following the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 and the following atrocities. And I needed poetry to understand the varied and various rippings and sutures of our people and our land." |

"Works by Brecht, Du Bois, Frost, and Woolf Are Now in the Public Domain"
"On January 1, 2024, thousands of copyrighted literary works from 1928 entered the public domain in the United States. That means authors and other creators can now incorporate thousands of books published in and before 1928 into their own work—at least for U.S. distribution—without permission. Highlights of this year's public domain class include classics such as Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence."
