Oliver de la Paz on The Diaspora Sonnets
"The sonnet carries an idea of perfection for me. There are aspects of it that remind me of the sharp facets of a diamond, cut precisely at the right angle to gleam in a particular way. I also love that the sonnet can be both an argument and an oath of one’s enduring love."

What Sparks Poetry:
Michael Joseph Walsh on Sara Nicholson's April
"Maybe what Nature and Art have in common is their amenability to being read—the fact that both can be the object of lectio divina, the contemplation of the 'living word.' In April the gods have left us, but Nature, like poetry, is being written, and can be read. The world is a poem, or a painting, and a poem, in turn, is the world, or at least a world (an 'imaginary garden with real toads in [it],' if you will)." |
