What Sparks Poetry: Prageeta Sharma on Marjorie Welish's "Some Street Cries"“In Welish’s work I saw an embrace of the most wild, abstract and observational in Stevens, informed with her renewed freshness in constructing the image and its possible abstract correlative. She creates her own set of notes in her poems. Her book The Windows Flew Open broadened my universe of what the poem could be and hold as its subject: a language fueled from living in the mind." |

Sandeep Parmar shares the best poetry collections of 2019. "Often poems conjure an event, a lyric occasion marked by stillness and observation. But in a year characterised by frenzy, political anticlimax and uncertainty, poetry should afford us no such luxury. As the American poet Robert Lowell wrote 'history has to live with what was here, / clutching and close to fumbling all we had.'"
