If You’re Lucky, This Could Be You
“Her life is not a goddamn movie. How’s this for plot? Fires erupt when people aren’t paying attention.”
Nothing Without Intention: on Writing with Solange’s “When I Get Home”
“Refrains like ‘we were down with you, down with you, down with you’ extend beyond the bounds of normal chorus and invite a particular mode of listening that engages the logic of mantras—sound as vibrational soothing.”
What We’re Reading Now: Embracing Jenny Odell’s “How to Do Nothing” During Shelter-in-Place
“By preventing myself from thinking about how to do more with my day or why I hadn’t accomplished as much as so-and-so—by ‘doing nothing’—I constructed a new framework of what mattered to me.”
Summoning Roethke
I want to convey to my students that what poetry does above all, and Roethke above others, is help us see the world, not outside of ourselves as much as in our hearts, and in our own thoughts and words and expressions.
Carrying Our Fear
I found myself tensing in crowded places and in groups of loud teenagers, until Paris passed from curfew into our second confinement. Now my mind is over-packed with thoughts of isolation, injustice, and the upcoming election.
