What Sparks Poetry:
Dana Levin on Emily Kendal Frey's Lovability
"In Lovability, poem after poem seeks discernment against this agony, to untangle the sticky web of the imagined, the hoped for, the dreaded, the real, and encounter each unbraced. Perhaps this is the only project that matters. Perhaps it’s one of the most difficult things a person undergoes: the dismantling of dream, assumption, expectation, prejudice, in order to see clearly and honestly." |

Irish Poet Wins James Tait Black Prize for Biography
Judge Dr. Simon Cooke called poet Doireann Ni Ghriofa’s winning book, A Ghost in the Throat, the combined memoir and investigation of 18th-century poet Eibhlin Dubh Ni Chonaill, "a work of great and searching depth and generosity, as involving as it is luminous, that weaves poetry, memoir, biography and translation into a powerful celebration of female texts."
