"Many Maxes: Performance as Legacy"
Elizabeth Metzger remembers her classmate, the late poet Max Ritvo. "It is not that Max’s poems are most final when he performed them but that each performance was an opportunity for a more immediate form, a truer ending, a slightly revised version of his meaning."

What Sparks Poetry:
Dana Levin on Emily Kendal Frey's Lovability
"In Lovability, poem after poem seeks discernment against this agony, to untangle the sticky web of the imagined, the hoped for, the dreaded, the real, and encounter each unbraced. Perhaps this is the only project that matters. Perhaps it’s one of the most difficult things a person undergoes: the dismantling of dream, assumption, expectation, prejudice, in order to see clearly and honestly." |
