"Lyn Hejinian’s Life in Writing"
"Her characteristic tone is that of an explorer setting off on a journey to strange lands and ready, eager in fact, to take interest in whatever presents itself. To read her is to go on a rollicking philosophical and picaresque adventure. Her work showed us how lived experience and intellectual curiosity can accompany one another."

What Sparks Poetry:
Bret Shepard on "Here But Elsewhere"
"The landscape of my childhood comes back in moments where I confront change....What I experience now pulls on the wild things I experienced earlier in life. The gravel runway for airplanes along the tundra of Atqasuk. The snow piled by machine into a temporary mountain near Ipalook Elementary in Utqiagvik. The sea ice breaking up near the shore of Browerville in time for whaling season." |
