That Was Now, This Is Then: Poems
Vijay SeshadriJeff Shotts@Danez_Smif Absolutely! Vijay Seshadri, Claudia Rankine, Anne Carson… I love when it goes the other way too.

The Virtues of Poetry
James LongenbachJeff ShottsSending up light for James Longenbach, gone too soon, but whose brilliance remains with us. It is a great honor to have worked with him on his critical books THE VIRTUES OF POETRY and THE ART OF THE POETIC LINE @GraywolfPress. "The future of poetry is right before our eyes."

No Land in Sight: Poems
Charles SimicJeff ShottsVery lost, like many of you, at the loss of Charles Simic. His poetry and translations are enduring works--feats, really, of imagination, wit, and insight--and his essays and reviews are often sharp-edged, comic, and knowingly sly. His prose poems hit me as revelations. (1/4)
