What Sparks Poetry:
Heather Green on “Fable for a Genome”
“For me, Virgil’s Aeneid is partly about continuity and repetition, a setting out over and over again. Likewise, David Ferry’s deep intertextual approach to writing—especially in Bewilderment, which includes his translations of Virgil, Catullus, and others, alongside his original poems—is also about continuity and iteration." |

Clive James: Milestones Marking the Journey of Life
"My understanding of what a poem is has been formed over a lifetime by the memory of the poems I love; the poems, or fragments of poems, that got into my head seemingly of their own volition....In fact, I believe, that is the true mark of poetry: you remember it despite yourself."
