"Raging for the World That Is"
"Rukeyser is interested in how it feels to live in the world, to engage with disaster and emerge with hope....The work that resulted is a hybrid collage of trial transcripts, stock market reports, statements from Congressional committee hearings, and victim testimony, based on Rukeyser’s own interviews with representatives from grieving families and official bodies."

What Sparks Poetry:
Silvina López Medin on Susana Thénon's Ova Completa
"This book questions systems of faith and is also, among many other things, something of a search for ways 'to believe'....There must be way out, an exit, Thénon seems to be telling us, and that’s why she keeps asking, questioning, putting one word in front of the other, traversing the void in between, building out of words something that goes beyond words, a space with no hierarchies of language, of register, of form." |
