What Sparks Poetry:
Heather Green on "Villains"
"I try to develop a vision of the poem as a crystalline structure, to see the points, often images or nouns, in the structure, to see the energies, sometimes prepositional, sometimes sonic, sometimes emotional, that travel between and among these points in the text, and to consider the way the light of our attention might play on and activate the multifarious connections." |

"Sonia Sanchez Still Has Work to Do"
"In Black Studies and the Nation and being a part of New York CORE or becoming a part of the Black Arts Movement, I went in, and I came out with more information, and it has formed me. It has not deformed me. It has not malformed me. It has formed me. I’m an 86-years-of-age woman whose work continues, and it will continue to my last breath."
