Part of an ongoing series of "Lamp" poems (which began with several texts written for a collaboration with the artist Charlotte Moth), "The Lamp of Revision" thinks about how time can lend its weirdness to the already curious process of writing, as subjects and the mind are changed in the moment of reflection.

Philippines-born poet Eunice Andrada is nominated for TAKE CARE, a collection that examines sexual violence and colonial conquest. And Evelyn Araluen, a descendant of the Bundjalung nation, is listed for her debut collection, Dropbear."

What Sparks Poetry:
Moheb Soliman (Great Lakes, MN) on Ecopoetry Now
"This brings you to 'On the water;' this is where the poem dwells. Trying to dream about water, or the opposite—sleep on water. A poem as oblivious as you could get to the complaints above. There are other poems in the book that are more critically, consciously, 'ecopoetic.' When you were asked months ago to choose one and discuss your earth-centered poetics through it, a dozen others came to mind—poems that fessed up to climate change and sea-level rise and invasive species." |
