Best Recent Poetry Roundup
Fiona Sampson discusses recently published poetry collections, including work by Jorie Graham, Sean O’Brien, Timothy Donnelly, and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. She writes of the last, "It’s a beautiful work of integration that not only refuses distinctions between 'high art' and traditional storytelling, but supplies that all-too rare human necessity: the sense that life has meaning."

What Sparks Poetry:
Lia Purpura on "First Leaf"
“I remember telling my students give me a minute I have to write something down, and though I say 'the words just came' the language itself felt almost intrusive, like a clumsy adaptation of a finer, more efficient form of communication—and yet, the pressure to inscribe was compelling. It was like passively receiving something and also being able to physically make something at the same time." |
