"Deciduous" was written in tribute and gratitude to the extraordinary Greta Thunberg and to all the passionate young activists who are fighting to preserve the beautiful, fragile, terribly endangered planet that is our only home. Linda Gregerson on "Deciduous" |

Review of Vivek Narayanan's After
"While Narayanan anticipates readers familiar with the Rāmāyaṇa might take issue with his reimagining ('But how can you ask that / as if you haven't already read it in the Ramayana?'), I was drawn in by rhythms and images that allowed this work to take flight, as when a heartbroken Lakshmana appears 'death-dreaming with his head in restless hands.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Elisa Díaz Castelo on Dolores Dorantes' Copy
"These fragmented definitions, along with other phrases, iterate over and over in her poems. Are, indeed, copied. In its use of permutation, these poems seem to be written in the tradition of the pantoum or the villanelle. The obsessive repetition distinctive to those forms haunts Dorantes' work, but also the same mysterious and almost imperceptible progress, the piecemeal transformation of meaning." |
