In the rasp of today

Hence, we end up with a deadly conflict born of misinterpretations/colliding realities, and of course power imbalances, and so much history one poem or answer to a question can’t answer. I appreciate Adeena’s scholarly, poly-lingual investigation of a subject, and her exploratory and exploded use of language. As much as This Page reveals empathy for the complex realities and narratives of both sides, in the end, this poem is not neutral. It comes down against occupation and the horrors of a grossly lopsided war. from A New Visualized Poem Covers ‘Occupied Territory’ [Print]

Is post-Joycean a word? This text looks p-J. Cool interview. And I learned about--and ordered--a new book: A Life In Books: The Rise and Fall of Bleu Mobley.
