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." |

In Memoriam: Marjorie Perloff, Scholar of Avant-Garde Poetry
"Professor Perloff, who spent the latter part of her career at Stanford University, made her name as a forceful advocate for experimental poetry, reaching back to early 20th-century writers like Pound and Gertrude Stein and embracing more recent movements like Language poetry and conceptual poetry...She argued that a critic’s task was not to search for meaning, but to explicate the form and texture of a poem."
