"Deep in the Literary Journal Archives"
"My back issues of APR don’t fit in a box—literally and metaphorically. They rest in a stack; they take up room. Poetry should take up room. (Even now, in order to write about it, I have to re-arrange my desk, the opened issue draping over the edge.) Poetry is inherently strange and unwieldy: an aberration, an elision of prose."

What Sparks Poetry:
Nicole Tong on Reaching Incarcerated Scholars
"Poetry by living poets reminds us that we live in a world shared by others in real time, and that especially matters during liminal periods marked by uncertainty and isolation. I’m inspired by people—JDC scholars, my community college students, women and children living in shelters— who navigate these waters—however they can—and (to borrow from the great Lucille Clifton) manage to 'sail through this to that'." |
