What Sparks Poetry:
Oliver Baez Bendorf on "I Want Biodegradable Sex"
"I am often suggesting to students that when it comes to style, we each have a 'terroir'— a particular flavor made up of the unique places and vocabularies that we have absorbed....But the thing is that terroir is not only style. It is substance. It is not even quite right to say that it is also substance. It is exactly that, substance. It’s the matter we are made of. Terroir is what you write and how you write it. The goal is to write what only you could." |

"Rare Anti-Slavery Poem by Coleridge"
"A rare anti-slavery poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is at risk of leaving the UK unless a domestic buyer can be found. The poem, a Greek Sapphic ode titled 'Ode On The West-Indian Slave Trade,' discusses the evils of slavery and laments the fate of slaves on the Middle Passage transportation route."
