"Even with all these different interpretations of Emily, we may always get her wrong. Her life is a code that we may not ever fully crack. But maybe it’s all right for her to remain out of reach, eluding attempts to take in the full scope of her experience. I often tell the students in my workshops that it’s okay for their poems to have secrets. They don’t have to reveal everything to their readers, all at once; part of the poem can be just for them."

What Sparks Poetry:
Tracy Zeman on Susan Howe's "The Nonconformist's Memorial"“Howe’s techniques create an altered world that a reader can step into and attempt to decipher. In the act of reading, we enter into the act of making. I loved the mystery in that process and the reader-work involved as we participate in the unraveling of established histories and the un-silencing that results....She both implicates the existing narrative and reconfigures it to create space for others." |
