"Poem of the Week: On the Train"
Carol Rumens finds an "authentically joyous work" in Harriet Monroe's 1922 poem. "Monroe steers us towards the heavens rather too readily, perhaps. But it’s a charming perception, and further contributes to the grounding in nature of the passengers and all their artificial, early 20th-century modernity."

What Sparks Poetry:
Jonathan Stalling on "Spring Snow"
"The most influential genre of Classical Chinese Poetry is called ‘regulated verse’ (各路诗), and these forms gather the world into words and refold them into inter-resonant patterns on a cosmological scale. Each monosyllabic word must be stacked in relation to the one before and after, above and below until the whole rests upon a final balanced point, as relaxed and exact as a cairn of transparent quartz." |
