"The Bard Goes Country"
"Adam Frumhoff asked a few of us if we’d like to hear songs from a project he’d been working on. Egged on by our enthusiastic nods, he grabbed his guitar and launched into a country version of a Midsummer Night’s Dream monologue that was so haunting I hummed it for days."

What Sparks Poetry:
Arda Collins on Mary Ruefle's “The Bench”
"[T]he argument about the bench, like many arguments, is about truth. The participants both believe their bench is the true bench. Despite the argument’s low stakes, it describes the larger philosophical positions of the speaker and the husband. The speaker describes her bench in terms of the eternal; the husband’s bench is mortal." |
