"A God at the Door"
"Doshi’s careful portraits of women complicate popular culture’s fetishization (or neglect) of Bardot, Frida Kahlo, and Margaret Mascarenhas, as well as the women affected by a shooting at a maternity clinic in Kabul. Doshi understands the way women are made both iconic and expendable."

What Sparks Poetry:
Evie Shockley on Jayne Cortez' "There It Is"
"Cortez’s trademark use of enumeratio—a rhetorical device that builds the force of an argument by offering detailed lists of the parts, causes, or effects of an issue—drives home the ruthlessness of this class of people: “They will try to exploit you / absorb you confine you / disconnect you isolate you / or kill you.” Enumeratio forms the poem’s fundamental structure." |
