The Art of Forgetting by Neil Aitken has some stellar sound flows and imagery. Adrienne Su’s Sestina was cool. A sestina I liked. Wow. Love Jennifer Kwon’spoem that can be read as two columns or as one. Interesting. Gendered Relations has gorgeous intensity of flow under the hand of Lani Montreal.
A lot more still to read. Bit by bit. It’s easy to OD on poetry.
Quote: “Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, historical accidents, soon forgotten.” — Milan Kundera (1929-), Franco-Czech writer.
