In Memoriam: Gerald Stern
"Mr. Stern, whose This Time: New and Selected Poems won the National Book Award for poetry in 1998, came to poetic prominence relatively late; his first published poem, 'The Pineys,' appeared in The Journal of the Rutgers University Library in 1969, when he was 44. His first collection, Rejoicings, was published in 1973, when he was nearing 50."

What Sparks Poetry:
Boris Dralyuk on Julia Nemirovskaya's "Verse"
"'Verse,' by the Russophone American poet Julia Nemirovskaya (whose surname, it occurs to me, might share an origin with Nemerov’s in the town of Nemyriv, Ukraine), spoke to me straight away, as Julia’s poems always do. I’ve been translating her work for over a decade now, developing a vocabulary in English that isn’t quite mine and isn’t quite hers (how could it be, since she writes in Russian?) but is very much ours." |
