What Sparks Poetry:
Kaveh Akbar on francine j. harris's "katherine with the lazy eye. short. and not a good poet." "When I found harris's poem, I saw myself, I saw the midwest I knew, I saw my own disregard for the interiority of others, I saw my own sloppiness. It’s a poem that performs its own searching, too—you hear the speaker reworking their language, endlessly reprocessing their positions and complicities." |
