"Interview with Alina Ștefănescu"
"Against redemption, salvation, quick-fixes, and resolution, poetry permits the irredeemable. And it forces us to think about the expectations buried in language; it requires me, for example, to articulate my discomfort with the word closure, and to consider why this word connotes a sort of psychologism to me."

What Sparks Poetry:
Michael Dumanis on Language as Form
"What determines the facts in question is the language, as well as the constraints I place on myself as an author. This is an autobiography that is not capable of ever saying 'I' or 'me' or 'mine,' as no words it uses can begin with any letter other than A. As a result, the poem is composed almost exclusively of sentence fragments." |
