For the
Cleveland Review of Books
, On Richard Serra, Eyeshadow, Performing Feminine Trauma on the Internet, and COR-TEN Steel:

'Cut-crease is a word for an eyeshadow technique I tried and failed at today, but what it actually sounds like to me is what the two four-ton Richard Serra box cubes in front of me at MoMA are doing.'

'I suspect that everything I do or say after 11 pm is lunatic. Panic about it at 5 am. In real life a police officer shoots a man twenty times in his own backyard. Is there someplace else to stand? No. (Shaved pubes.)'

Tuesday reads: Nadia Asparouhova for Asterisk, Mike Solana for Pirate Wires, db for Harper's Magazine, Ryan Zickgraf for COMPACT, Alessandra Bocchi for The Critic, Johannes Göransson for Cleveland Review of Books, Nic Rowan for The American Conservative, and Alissa Quart for Literary Hub.

I wanted to really read the poems for their ”content.” And the content is remarkably consistent: the dead, the underworld, synesthesia, art and dreams. From Hillman’s reading of dreams I got the method: stick with the images.

Cleveland Review of Books Johannes Göransson Copper Canyon Press Thanks for this beautiful essay, that situates Tranströmer without essentialism. Remembered another crucial klang in a poem that I've been teaching for years in multiple translations-Ensamhet (1), the metal signboard which is the only resistance to his car going off the road.

Cleveland Review of Books Johannes Göransson Copper Canyon Press Thank you for all of this, but especially the reminder that poetry is about encouraging our vulnerability to things we cannot easily classify, 'master,' categorize.'

Very proud of this review essay about Tranströmer and his new translations (Copper Canyon Press ). Ive been reading him since I was 14 so I had some stuff to say…

'So many of Tranströmer’s poems are about listening, or even living, in a kind of sonic aftermath.'

Really enjoyed this piece in Cleveland Review of Books about the wide world of small presses: clereviewofbooks.com/writing/art-ov…

This piece on small press publishing by my colleague Jeff Alessandrelli contains many salient points that a lot of writers don’t think about starting out, like how they have a range of mostly unspoken aims, funding models, strengths, and business practices.

🖤🖤🖤 we gotta figure out who those 'cleveland review' people are // absolutely blazing reading last night // cleveland is the poetry capital of the world oops

Fonograf Jeff (Fonograf Editions) on small press practices for the submerging artist!

'Since a certain amount of funding is coming from grants, donors, and (hopefully) the press’s Board of Directors, there are more variables to consider.'

And strangers’ songs the mockingbirds still sing
But each night in my dream she eats my heart
