What Sparks Poetry:
Kai Ihns on Building Community
"I think this dispersed but somehow coherent ‘I’ that exists in relation and as a problem of negotiating how one is oriented… I’m interested in this because I do feel like it’s a way poetry can process its world, in this case a world that requires complex negotiations of… realities, and the selves that can exist in them. You have to actively negotiate what you think the ground is, all the time… and that partially determines how you can be in relation." |

Review of Yuki Tanaka's Chronicle of Drifting
"In part, Tanaka accomplishes his surrealism through the use of the ambiguous simile, the metaphor in which tenor and vehicle are not completely yoked to one another, or at least not conventionally so. For Tanaka identifies a more essential quality in surrealism than mere eccentricity or strangeness, and that is in his focus on the oddity of language, poetry, and metaphor."
