What Sparks Poetry:
Devon Walker-Figueroa on Jorie Graham's "Salmon"
"This was a language not so much spoken as felt from deep within … and it made me, all at once, begin to ask myself new questions: what are the choreographies by which our consciousness might move—the patterns in which astonishments congregate? Can the poet witness her own inception? What tempos might our impressions take up—only to shed them later on?" |

Imprisoned Varavara Rao’s Poetry Suppressed
"His poems, known for their revolutionary quality, have been instrumental tools of dissent against state excesses, and are important narratives containing the memory of violence, marginalization, and resistance. Varavara Rao has been arrested numerous times in the past for these ideas, including during the Emergency years."
