What Sparks Poetry:
J. Michael Martinez on Reading Prose
"'A small disunified theory' constellates from a lyrical response to Leslie Jamison's 'Grand Unified Theory of Female Pain' to a further diagnosis of late-stage capital's easy co-opting of raw moment's bodily musk spill, our meat's revolutionary intensities suddenly dimmed by the weight of brands, these 'names'." |

"Burning Pages: On Elisa Gonzalez's Grand Tour"
"Elisa Gonzalez may very well be a great poet, and, like all great poets, she is haunted by poetry—the poetry of Homer, of John Ashbery, of … Marilyn Monroe. In an illuminating essay in The Paris Review entitled 'Marilyn the Poet,' Gonzalez writes about how Monroe's 'dashed-off, insular poems embody an oft-submerged but ever-present feature of lyric poetry: a dialogue within the self, overheard by the self.'"
