What Sparks Poetry:
Jody Gladding on [she is one who looks]
"Released from the bubble of voice, narrative, and image, words animate space differently—the degraded 'open space,' the space of the poem. They inhabit it, root, and evolve there. Perhaps they have always done so, they just needed to be freed from lineation and author/ity to make that clear. These are not my own words. They refuse ownership. You can read them any way you like." |

Noah Falck: "On Poetry Readings"
The founder of Buffalo's long-running Silo City Reading Series, Noah Falck, talks with fellow poets about its success. "The reading series wouldn’t exist without community. We structured it so that it wasn’t just poets reading to other poets, which I think is often the case in most reading series, which is cool and necessary, but we wanted to open it up and play with the idea of who a reading series could engage. The strength of any real community or project lives in its diversity."
