"Syntax and Poetry Beyond the Border"
Poet Ari Banias talks about his new collection, A Symmetry. "My insistence on an ambivalent, unstable self in my poems, sometimes expressed as a 'we,' is a refusal of expectations around gender allegiance and gender coherence, and it’s also a refusal of the primacy of 'I' as a singular, closed-off entity."

What Sparks Poetry:
David Herd on Emily Dickinson's [I Dwell in Possibility —]
"The poem’s possibilities are many. You feel them at every turn; in every space held open by her signature dash. The windows are numerous in this house because the poem’s meanings shift, each word opened to the range of its definitions. When she occupies in the final stanza–when she states her 'occupation'– we see her in her self-appointed role as maker of poems." |
