Nomenclature offers readers the fullest gathering of [her individual collections] and provides a survey of her development and trajectory as a poet. Featuring Christina Sharpe’s superb critical introduction, this authoritative volume is an invaluable and important text

This book feels like it is the work of someone... with a self-conception of their own identity in relation to race that feels very nuanced and dynamic. The book very provocatively and actively places us in a racial dynamic regardless of the race of the reader right away...

Very excited to share Rae Armantrout's return to Between the Covers to discuss her latest double book Finalists. How can poems pull back the curtain on how we create meaning? What can its construction tell us about language, truth & identity? Audio: 📻➡️https://t.co/BdMGSvjD8m https://t.co/NZ4wbR1apU

Happy Launch Day to The Poetics of Wrongness (@WavePoetry) I haven't stopped thinking about these essays & their poetics, one that feels dear to me, since reading earlier versions for my talk with Rachel. Listen below & get the book, for wrongness awaits! https://t.co/kY3M7zbDRe https://t.co/trpGsovSZP

Today's @Tin_House Live craft talk, "The Ear of the Story," is by Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers. Who is your story's implied listener & what are the political & artistic implications of glossing a culture for readers who don’t know it? https://t.co/oGaTfKYk8K https://t.co/xypna5CHeF

Don't miss today's conversation with Jai Chakrabarti which touches on everything from poetry to translation, from classical Indian aesthetics to Jewish ritual, from Tagore to Buber, but which is also a particularly deep dive into story craft Audio 📻https://t.co/4EKjwC6WPD https://t.co/Xq6WQv6JAq

“In crisis we must decide, again & again, whom we love"-said Frank O'Hara. @mfernandespoet's new collection takes this to heart. Poems of ugly joy & unruly love disrupt time within our ongoing crises & enact connection across difference & distance. Audio: https://t.co/4ilWKIQsXj https://t.co/WkuWPd8Kxc
