What Sparks Poetry:
fahima ife (New Orleans) on Ecopoetry Now
"That I required a desert to write poetry of the swamp. I open another poetry collection, wander inside the wet density of word, step outside world as we know it. As if poets hold access to the mycelial inner-dimensionalities of Earth as we continue singing in its wake. Something about lack of old forest in the DeepSouth—as you say: the woods here are less than one-hundred years old, on a billions of years old planet, in a newly-contested country, written in the lineage of descent." |

"Daljit Nagra on Retelling the Classic Ramayana in Punglish"
"What got me excited about writing a version of the epic was that it exists in many forms, as prose, street performance, puppet show, sculpture, painting, comic yarn, and as verse. It's a story in constant production and flux! I set myself the challenge to make the story malleable—I wanted to oscillate it between these various forms."
