In this poem, I am trying to reconceptualize distance between the lover and the beloved, from miles to time, and in so doing, shrink the time between by remembering the stars and light.

"Poetry Flourishes in Ukraine – But at a Terrible Price"
"The experience of conflict has changed Ukrainian poets and their use of language. 'It’s crisper, sharper and with the potential to turn toxic,' observed Oksana Maksymchuk, a poet and translator based in Chicago, writing in an anthology of recent Ukrainian poetry called Words for War."

What Sparks Poetry:
J. Michael Martinez on Reading Prose
"I wanted to understand its syntactic logic of worlding, and, so, I mirrored Angello's process: in my work, I chose to meditate, word by word, on the chorus of Ritchie Valens' 'We Belong Together.' The prose poem sequence that emerged became a structuring force for the book as a whole; the sequence's prose ruminations on temporality, the body, and love, spread out across the book, acted as scaffolds to Tarta Americana's overarching themes." |
