Danielle Badra Named Fairfax County Poet Laureate
"'Poetry is one of those subjects that a lot of people learn in school and never want to learn again. And I want to change that,' [Badra] told FFXnow by email. 'Poetry is inspirational, it is healing, it is empowering. I want to share that with the community.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
David Hinton on Li Po's "Drinking Alone Beneath the Moon"
"I’ve found that translating classical Chinese poetry is a way for me to make contemporary poetry that operates outside of the Western cosmological or mythological system, even so far as to register a very different sense of what the self is. In this poetry, identity can be so much a part of the empirical world that it actually becomes landscape." |
