What Sparks Poetry:
Allison Cobb on "For love"
"As a writer, I have been obsessed with the complexities of my origins, having been born and raised in Los Alamos, New Mexico, the town that built the first atomic bombs, and which remains the location of one of the nation’s three main nuclear weapons labs. Planetary legacies of damage and death stem from this place. How did this happen?" |

Clare Cavanagh on Translating Adam Zagajewski
"He first approached me about working with him indirectly, by way of a mutual acquaintance who called to ask if I would consider translating Adam Zagajewski....He’d thought I would be some remote, imposing professor and was afraid to call me himself. This too continues to shock me. He was a great Polish poet after all, and I was just some Slavist in Wisconsin."
