Poetry Collections

The poet on his new collection, institutions of power, purity, and the possibility of total obliteration.

A poetry collection that is “allergically pastoral” and full of good fantasies (with a touch of pain).

The poet on his new collection, language as resistance, research as a starting point, and how the intimate suggests the epic.

On his new collection of poetry, I Will Destroy You, the book that emerged from choosing not to write.

Long neglected poet Stephen Jonas created a complex web of self-mythologized identities to escape any form of categorization …

The poets on their latest collections, the texture of language, and work that pulls the rug from under us.

The poet on the virtues of improv, the cost of solitude, and having deep conversations with other texts.

I planned to write a book about / the color blue. Now I’m suddenly surrounded / by green, green gagging me / pleasurably, green holding onto my hips / from behind, digging into / the cleft, the cleft // that can be made.

Featuring selections by Justin Taylor, Shelly Oria, Mary Walling Blackburn, Kevin Killian, Barry Schwabsky, John Freeman, and more.
