How love, Warriors basketball and poetry brought Tom Meschery back
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The poet has been upstairs in his office, tapping at the keyboard on various projects. Most of his mornings begin this way … so much work to do. Some days he tends to his blog, and on other days he tidies up his memoir that is nearing publication. Or he may put the finishing touches on another of his mystery novels. And of course, his poetry. There is always his poetry.
Much of his poetry chronicles his

Louise Glück, Remembered by Writers
Louise Glück, who contributed poems to The New Yorker for half a century, died on Friday. We’ve gathered reflections on her life and work from writers and poets who knew, read, and studied with Glück.
In the fall of 2005, I signed up to take Louise Glück’s writing workshop. At our small liberal-arts college, Professor Glück cut an intimidating figure. My classmates and I knew it was a privilege to be in her company. The Nobel was still more than
„The Lights“, rezensiert: Ben Lerners Poetry of Alien Illumination
Manchmal gehört das, was man sieht, zu einer anderen Welt. Sterne. Stadtstraßen auf einer Kinoleinwand. Das erinnerte Gesicht eines Verstorbenen. Sie wissen, dass es eine andere Welt ist, weil Sie das, was Sie sehen, nicht berühren können oder weil es Sie nicht sehen kann.
Manchmal scheint jedoch die Grenze zwischen dieser und der anderen Welt zu verschwimmen. Ein achtjähriger Junge und sein Bruder werden von der Freundin ihrer Mutter zum Seattle Aquarium mitgenommen, um dort unter der Unterwasserkuppel zu übernachten.

Warner comes from Chicago and

The 37-year-old went on to say in the statement about her new book, “I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from

The Gift of Slam Poetry
the greatest Americans
have not been born yet
they are waiting patiently
for the past to die.
—Saul Williams
Harold Bloom once stated in an interview with The Paris Review that poetry slam is “the death of art.” I like that. The gravity of the statement feels like its own commendation. But I would like to offer
