two (interview) conversations: with Renée Sarojini Saklikar (on the long poem) and émilie kneifel (on the prose poem)

over at periodicities: a journal of poetry and poetics, I've posted two different conversations I've had lately with Canadian poets: my email conversation with Vancouver poet Renée Sarojini Saklikar around the (Canadian) long poem, and my email conversation with Montreal poet émilie kneifel on the prose poem. You should go over there and read these interviews! They are very interesting.

Etcetera : some commentary, and a few new(ish) poems,

Thanks to Katie Naughton's Etcetera, I did some short write-ups on particular works by Renée Sarojini Saklikar, Susan Howe, Joshua Beckman, the anthology on grief co-edited by George Bowering and Jean Baird, and the infamous 1960s Canadian poetry anthology by Eli Mandel (through which I discuss Bowering and John Newlove), all of which you can read here (alongside two new poems, as well). Also, Nate Logan was good enough to post a poem of mine (originally composed for Scientific American, but I couldn't figure out how to submit to them) up at his buffalopluseight. So many things!
