"Walking Backward Into Myth"
"We could say of Carson’s inventive translations and iterations of Euripides: he may be long dead, but he’s alive here, and so too, vividly, is Carson. She has worked with Euripides’ text, with the contemporary context, with wit and humor and intertextual tendrils, with 'the line' in many of its forms, with rhyme and wordplay, with drawing and space in the margins, to 'seize the invisible and give it purchase.'”

What Sparks Poetry:
Dana Levin on Wanda Coleman's "The Woman and Her Thang"
"Standing at the magazine rack at Beyond Baroque, I opened Coleman’s chapbook at random and read: 'She kept it in a black green felt-lined box.' Ten monosyllabs—how I loved saying them, each one a kind of floating stone in the mouth—introducing the speaker’s 'thang': seductive and dangerous, wreaking havoc on her love life." |
