Cousins Reading Series: October 2010
http://readcousins.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
A Semi-Regular Literary Series in Providence, Rhode Island. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Matthew Salesses Q and A. What inspired this story, Our Island of Epidemics. I guess I'm curious about its setting and theme. You maintain a first person plural point of view for the majority of the story. A single narrator reveals himself about halfway through book, in a very short story called "On Telling This Story," and returns again at the end of the story. Why not maintain the group voice entirely? I tend to wri...

Thursday, April 7, 2011. Have a Nice Day! Next to this, a handwritten one reads: "THE HATERS ARE TRYING TO KILL ME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DAY.". The man has wispy balding grey hair and coke-bottle glasses. He is tall and lanky and his clothes are worn but intact. If anyone here is homeless or hungry, please help yourself to food and drink," he exclaims. Nobody helps themselves. Presumably getting wind of the laughing teenagers, he stops just before the door and exclaims, "You know what? We don't need...

THE EARTH TAUGHT HER CHILDREN TO BEFOUL HER. August 9, 2015 at 1:57 pm ( Scarriet Editors. The earth taught her children to befoul her. You are my Central Park. You are the landscape for loving a shadow’s deepening. You are the landscape for which I apply. You are the landscape not of talk or thought. But the glittering that goes on in the sparrow’s eye. In the middle of the gleaming, teeming city I return to nature. In your body I slowly know nature as I never did. And Wordsworth his cunning Prelude stop.

Wednesday, January 30, 2013. The Next Big Thing. So I have taken this here blog out of digital mothballs to participate in a self-interview project that Jenn McCreary of Ixnay Press "tagged" me for. So I plied myself with liquor, gave myself some obligatory compliments and went to it. What is the working title of the book? Since I was tagged by Jenn McCreary. I will refer to the chapbook Allsorts. Which will be published by her & Chris McCreary’s very own Ixnay Press. What genre does your book fall under?

Monday, June 22, 2009. Riffing on Bird and Other Sad Songs. Rating: 5 of 5 stars. View all my reviews. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Rating: 5 of 5 stars. View all my reviews. Thursday, June 11, 2009. Published in 2008 by Otioliths, is definitely the work of an archivist, and fascinating in its organic unison of these two paradigms. Is, for the most part, a book of "conventional" (I use this term as though it has any real meaning), "poems," it is also tied explicitly to an actual object,. View all my reviews.

Ashes :: Ghosts :: Rubies: April 2011
http://ashesghostsrubies.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. Poetry and Death: Part 1. Remembering Paul Violi. Remembering John Wieners:. Delightfully garrulous yet a blowhard. Hilariously boorish yet a lout. Exquisitely devious yet untrustworthy. Artfully obsequious yet weepy and goveling. Explosively disagreeable yet a sore loser. Provocatively inarticulate yet mute. Like a demented child yet worrisome. Mordant, venomous yet in an overly critical way. Surprisingly obtuse yet unable to make fine distinctions. A ne'er-do-well but unhygenic.

Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Sleeping with Typing Wild Speech. What separates Typing Wild Speech from a merely detailed memoir, apart from an overall lack of concern with narrativity—nobody’s “telling a story” here—is the intensely physical way whereby Ward bridges the vast space existing between himself and the reader. We literally see through Ward’s eyes”. Regarding this, I cannot express any better than Ward himself:. Some writers claim an important distinction. They are not ‘a poet’ but ...Like Gerrit L...
