Chloe Forsell wrote a new blog post The Cultural Essay: What is “culture” anyway? in the group Fact vs. Nonfiction: 9 years, 4 months ago

This is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately.

Hi poetry world!

Below is a link to 1989, The Number, “an exploration of the year 1989 through politics, personal history and culture. This chapbook plays like a mixtape incorporating the hottest records and stories of ’89 and reflecting their relevance for today.

I thought I’d share my reviews of the books of poetry I’ve been working closely with for my project! I highly recommend getting your hands of both of these. They’re very different, but I got a lot from reading them, particularly from reading them sort of in conversation with each other.

Last week’s writing exercise, a translation, left me with a poem that was far from a translation. Did anyone else have this experience? I attempted to translate “La langue de ma mère,” a French poem. I have a d […]

Something I’ve been thinking about lately, now in my second consecutive semester of taking a poetry workshop (in other words thinking actively and often about poetry), is when one crosses the bridge from being u […]

Just the other day in workshop, Ariana brought up a point that I completely agree with. Last semester, when she and I were both taking our first poetry workshop, we stuck very closely to the prompts or exercises […]
