Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post Poetry’s Loyal Accomplices in the group The Contemporary Poem: 6 years, 11 months ago

We’ve begun to think about translation and poetry in some pretty unfavorable terms as of late. After reading the clean shirt of it and framing ourselves, as readers, as accomplices to the poet/their speaker, […]
Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post Translation through Poetic Landscapes in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years ago

I think I’ve been taken by the idea that a “translation” can be thought of as a movement of some idea to another location. I find the blend of conceptual and physical metaphor really appealing; an idea is not […]
Daniel Fleischman edited the blog post Articulate Arguments in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 10 months ago

Maybe I’m just not that argumentative, but argument(/persuasion?) never occurred to me as a motivation for writing poetry before. Well, that’s not entirely true. I think we’re all always trying to argue, if not […]
Daniel Fleischman edited the blog post Through, Syntax, Page 44, X. in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 10 months ago

I’ll think I’ll talk all little on one of the poems that really stuck out out to me in David Herd’s Through. On page 44 in the section “Syntax,” the poem “X.” really pushed me into a head space preoccupied with […]
Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post Paper or… pixels? in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

I’m just gonna pose a question and give my answer since I can’t think of any good segues.

On what medium do you write poems?

All the talk on form, paper receipt rolls in class, and my compulsions to […]
Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post More than one way to scan a cat in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

I have a confession: I kinda really like scansion. From past experiences with poetry, I always felt meters and feet and stress were the drier elements that the old traditional people at the poetry headquarters […]
Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post Math is hard in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

Can we talk about numbers? Yeah, yeah, It’s nobodies favorite, but I think we can agree everything has value, mathematical or otherwise.

I can’t seem to jump the gap in how certain numerical stanzas can inform […]
Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post The naive poet and erotic poetry in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

Okay, so this may get a little personal, but I feel like reasoning through a topic that always leaves me a little perplexed: eroticism.

Poetry has a history with this subject and we’ve read a few poems that […]
Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post A to B and back again in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 12 months ago

A little paragraph that stuck out to me in this week’s reading in A Little Book on Form (specifically the “How Free Verse Works” chapter) was when Hass recollects a conversation with Stanley Kunitz on formalized […]
Daniel Fleischman wrote a new blog post To new beginnings in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years ago

I’m going to do something a little selfish with my first blog post and just ramble a bit about how I currently feel about poetry. Hopefully, this will serve as a baseline for myself, a point of reflection for my […]
