Evan Goldstein wrote a new blog post Notes from AWP (pt. 1) in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years ago
I returned from the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) conference in LA a few weeks ago, but I haven’t had much time to set down my thoughts about it until now. I’m planning on posting my thoughts […]

I hate to be that guy, but ah what the hell…
Last semester I took a course on James Joyce with Dr. Doggett, and it blew my mind, since we read Ulysses. It’s impossible to quickly the form and content of the w […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Life, Art, Image, on the site The Contemporary Poem 8 years, 2 months ago
Hi Juliet! I’m glad you enjoyed this post, and found something to take away from it!
I think, as poets, we should be putting more thought in than anyone else (except maybe visual artists) regarding the making […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, From Prose to Poetry, on the site The Contemporary Poem 8 years, 2 months ago
Hi Oliver,
I think another important difference between poetry and prose is that prose has narrative intentions, whereas poetry (unless it’s a narrative poem) wants to communicate a huge narrative by […] -
Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Blog Post #2: Taking apart post, on the site The Contemporary Poem 8 years, 2 months ago
Hi DongWon! Really interesting post–I think it’s definitely important to be asking questions in (and through) poetry. Some of my favorite poems leave me with more questions than answers, which prompts me to think […]

I’ve been thinking (and talking) a lot about the image recently, so I thought I might as well write a post to get us started on talking about it outside of workshop.
I’ll start with this big ol’ block quote […]

In my poetry, I usually focus on form at the level of the line, especially while writing and first revising. I focus on the line level first (after coming up with a basic focus for the content that I want to […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Reaction to Szirtes reading, on the site The Contemporary Poem 8 years, 3 months ago
Hi DongWon, I’m looking forward to meeting you in class in a few hours! I also connected with the part about language and poetic form giving meaning to meaninglessness. The thought of poetic form as “an act of […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Interviews, on the site Irish Studies 8 years, 8 months ago
I interviewed a man named Michaeh, the famous woodcarver in Sligo, after many people told me he was a good Sligo local to talk to. The interview ended up being quite long, as he readily gave out stories and […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Sunday, 2 August: Free Day in Clifden, on the site Irish Studies 8 years, 8 months ago
Here to confirm. This was one of the best days of the trip for me, and I hope future trips will make a point of hiking in Connemara. This felt like the freest of the free days: I woke up and ate my way through and […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Tuesday, 21 July: Seminar on Young Ireland the 19th Century Nationalism and Walking Tour of Glasnevin Cemetery, on the site Irish Studies 8 years, 8 months ago
I was a bit put off by the tour of Glasnevin, to be honest. I’m glad we went, and I found the tour to be really informative, but I think that the critical slant to Irish history that we’re learning with this […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Sunday, 26 July: Bus to Sligo and Visit to Glenveagh Castle and Gardens, on the site Irish Studies 8 years, 9 months ago
The castles have really been creeping me out, to be honest. I have a certain ambivalence about them because they are quite beautiful–especially Glenveagh–and, it is fascinating to experience the opulence in […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Sunday, 19 July: Bus Tour of the Burren, Cliffs of Moher, and Doolin, on the site Irish Studies 8 years, 9 months ago
I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of a nation performing itself, both to itself and to its tourists (us). Don’t get me wrong, I love Ireland, and I’m having a wonderful time here. The landscape is amazing […]

Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Thursday, 16 July 2015: Overnight Flight to Dublin, on the site Irish Studies 8 years, 9 months ago
My Expectations:
I try not to have overwhelming expectations when I go somewhere new, because I’d rather be open to the place and to the opportunities to get outside of my comforts and perspectives there, […]

So after submitting my portfolio, I became a little afraid for the summer, as I usually taper down with the writing as I start sleeping later and later and let the heat take me, etc. I really want to try to keep a […]

“Lights flicker from the opposite to loft
in this room the heat pipes just cough
the country music plays soft
but there’s nothing really nothing to turn off”
–always loved that part of Visions of Johanna -
Evan Goldstein commented on the post, Who are your favorite poets? From the past or the present, on the site The Contemporary Poem 8 years, 11 months ago
I keep trying to not say Yeats, but I think I like him also because he’s pretty badass, moral statements aside. Also his poems are so tight. I don’t always agree with him, but man do I feel what he means. Right […]

I believe that’s one of FUSE’s major goals! So far I think they’re just awaiting the (very drawn out) application process to become a recognized student organization.
