Report copyright infringementby Ron Koertge (Author)"Ron Koertge can elevate the ordinary places of America---the backyard, the classroom, the mall---into scenes of mock-epic significance. He can just as easily lower the mythic worlds of Superman, Ozymandias and Cinderella to a level just a few inches above the bathetic. And he does all this with a charming combination of wit and empathy, satire and sweetness." -Billy Collins "I would think a poem entitled Getting Tough with John Ruskin," "O...

Report copyright infringementby Genine Lentine (Author)Genine Lentine's new chapbook, a finalist in the NMP/DIAGRAM 2009 chapbook contest, is a great debut. "Reading Genine Lentine's poems--so ardent and playful, risky and affecting--I kept thinking that it's not true, what René Char once said, that 'no bird has the heart to sing in a thicket of questions.' These poems plunge headlong into uncertainties of both language and life and, in doing so, they are so original that I often felt while r...

Report copyright infringementby Ion Cristofor (Author), Andreea Iulia Scridon (Translator)Ion Cristofor discovers the world as he discovers the poem, which he creates obsessively in an imaginary laboratory.

Report copyright infringementby Stephanie Asselin (Author)I noticed at a young age that I had a difficult time expressing my emotions vocally. This proved to be even more challenging growing up as more emotions developed. I would either go off on tongue-twisting tangents that would ultimately confuse people, or the delivery would be so incredibly aggressive that I'd push people away. Nonetheless, I knew that when I felt something, I felt everything and I needed to find a release. So I began e...

Taylor (Author)"There are many ways of peering into life and then responding; and by responding, peering further."The poems in How Are You Now? peer into life. They "don't try to nail things down."
