"The Speak Angel Series - Alice Notley" "Written from 2013 to 2015 and then revised until 2020, The Speak Angel Series unfolds over six sections and six hundred plus pages. Sitting down to read it feels like tackling Pound’s Cantos, Benjamin’s Arcades Project, or Hildegard of Bingen’s Scivias. That last comparison may be the closest because, like Hildegard’s book, The Speak Angel Series is a report of visions and voices, and an account of the conditions for universal salvation." via FULL STOP |

What Sparks Poetry: Oliver Baez Bendorf on "I Want Biodegradable Sex" "I am often suggesting to students that when it comes to style, we each have a 'terroir'— a particular flavor made up of the unique places and vocabularies that we have absorbed....But the thing is that terroir is not only style. It is substance. It is not even quite right to say that it is also substance. It is exactly that, substance. It’s the matter we are made of. Terroir is what you write and how you write it. The goal is to write what only you could." |
