Diane Glancy on Writing the Past
"There is a principle of physics working within poetry—whatever it is. Something that can’t be explained because it resists capture. Like the unifying principle that physicists are looking for, yet it always eludes them....There’s a native myth that says the creator 'sung the universe into being. His singing spawned reason, but not sufficiently. So we shall never know all that moves with the universe.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Tracy Zeman on Susan Howe's "The Nonconformist's Memorial"
“Howe’s techniques create an altered world that a reader can step into and attempt to decipher. In the act of reading, we enter into the act of making. I loved the mystery in that process and the reader-work involved as we participate in the unraveling of established histories and the un-silencing that results....She both implicates the existing narrative and reconfigures it to create space for others." |
