"The Pious French Poet"
"Max Jacob: A Life in Art and Letters, by the American poet Rosanna Warren, sets out to restore to Jacob some measure of the literary fame she feels he has been denied....Her greater achievement, however, is her portrait of the tension among art, faith and sexuality in the life of a man Gertrude Stein once said had a 'poet soul.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Brian Teare on "Star Thistle"
"What is a weed in one cultural context is medicine or food in another; what is invasive in one ecosystem is native to another; and plants, like matter, as William James would wisely say, have no ideals. What I brought to the Star Thistle was what Adam Phillips in his marvelous book Darwin’s Worms would call the problem of grieving in a secular age." |
