What Sparks Poetry:
Mathias Svalina on William Blake's "The Tyger"
"Maybe my dedication to poetry....this desire to manufacture transcendences out of words, is just chasing this first high of visionary realization & its predicating brain chemistry. One moment you can be a child in a classroom, terrified & trapped, & then you read the right words, & you are free. It’s true. Freedom is real. Art is true. And once you know a true thing, it is difficult to un-know." |

"This Be the Verse 2019"
John Yau and Albert Mobilio choose their poetry collections of the year. "There have been more fine books published this year than we can adequately cite. For this list, we mostly chose standouts from longstanding careers—our tip of the hat to perseverance."
