"An Evolution of Style""I love discovering new voices, but there’s much to be said for following poets over the course of their careers, watching their styles evolve, their attentions shift. Poets in mid-career must navigate hard crossroads to avoid repeating themselves, becoming parodies of their earlier successes."via HYPERALLERGIC |

What Sparks Poetry:
Jay Besemer on Tristan Tzara's “Anecdote""Already focusing on short, intense poems in my own writing, the eleven-line near-sonnet of 'Anecdote' made me feel that I had a path ahead of me ('from one halt to the next') and reassured me that I was not alone in my experiences of violent alienation and the sense of being wrong, badly-suited for what the whole world seemed to expect of me. In both form and content, 'Anecdote' resonated with my own needs, perspective and experiences, both interior and as a human animal in the world." |
