"The Poet's Nightstand with Richie Hofmann"
"I just taught Roger Reeves's 'Fragment 107' to my poetry students at Stanford. The poem is a dark and beautiful response to Sappho's 'do I long for my virginity?' Like so many of Reeves's poems, the speaker exists so forcefully in the present but also in another, distant world. His poems are dense and allusive, charting an intellectual project to extend the canon of American art and to make that canon feel present and alive to us."

What Sparks Poetry:
Adam Dickinson (St. Catharines, Ontario) on Ecopoetry Now
"My poem responds to dioxin in part by reflecting on the complex history of the chemical as well as my own potential exposure history. I spent a significant portion of my life living and traveling in central and northern Ontario, Canada, never far from pulp and paper mills and their distinctive sulfurous smell and insidious environmental footprint." |
