"Something Beautiful About the Margin"
Mary Ruefle talks about reading and writing on the How to Proceed podcast. "The experience of sitting in front of a book that fills you with light and intense passion and joy or deep thoughtfulness, that experience is the same with all great books. I love that experience, and I read to have it again and again and again."

What Sparks Poetry:
Dan Beachy-Quick on "Alcman 89"
"Studying my declensions, conjugating those verbs, the endless rote memorization of vocabulary, all felt meaningful in relation to this wild, instinctive possibility—that thinking was the body’s work, that apprehension in all its senses (grasping, fearing, knowing) was the thinking poetry could offer, a thought that is a sensation, as natural and instinctive as the hawk’s dive is to hawk or the mouse’s hiding is to the mouse, all eyes bright with purpose." |
