My poem "[pastoral for the aughts]" is one of a growing collection that attends to the voices and postures of those around me (farmers, academics, Amish, Central Pennsylvanians, an extended family of blue-collar workers) engaged in the common struggle against insignificance.

Richard Zenith’s Pessoa Biography
"Mammoth, definitive and sublime, Richard Zenith’s new biography, ‘Pessoa,’ gives us a group portrait of the writer and his cast of alternate selves—along with a perceptive reading of what it meant for Pessoa to multiply (or did he fracture?) like this."

What Sparks Poetry:
Maud Casey on Joanna Klink’s The Nightfields
"I read from The Nightfields most mornings for the vertiginous pleasure of scale, for the sense of intimacy and infinitude, in order to feel my insignificance in the world. Our relative insignificance, our like-it-or-not interconnectedness, Klink reminds us, is not such a bad thing to feel." |
