"Wong May's Poetry of Exile"
"Through the shifting registers and modes of her poetry, Wong May made English hospitable to those who find themselves between cultures and languages. A Bad Girl’s Book of Animals, which will be republished by Ethos Books in March, dazzled and puzzled its initial critics in equal measure. But over the years readers have come to more fully appreciate the sly tone and form of her poetry, which swings wildly from title to provocative imagery to deceptively affecting lines."

What Sparks Poetry:
David Baker on "The Telling"
"I stood there at the glacier and felt deep below my feet the world moving and the ice dying. Glaciers melt from the bottom, and from within, as they creep along inexorably toward lower ground and, eventually, toward oceans and seas. How to write about such things? How can a small lyric poem begin to suggest the complexities of the subject and this place? I guess the answer is, how can we not try?" |
