Landscape of post-election autumn aptly disarraying itself, with my favorite Romanticist as Rückenfigur, with my favorite & most difficult colleague in the mouth of my favorite poet-teacher-interpreter-mortal, “bargaining with what is
On the grid as charm toward a parallel union-verse: Some beautiful poets rolled into town and graced Chicago with the sound of ancestral light (this is literal, not a metaphor)…some preternatural lights were even hiding in the audience! Making
This issue of Semicerchio devoted to The Nature-Text: Poetics of Hyperobjects and Post-Apocalyptic Poetry just dropped from Florence, Italy, a place that knows a thing or two about political assault. On its cover is a gorgeous collage by julie ezelle
Putting this on the grid in case y’all are in town. Check out my former student David Gutherz’s excellent dissertation on the “upside-down intellectuals” of postwar Italy for more context.
January 21, 2017. We’ve fought before. And we’ll do it again. These moments of joy in resistance as talisman. #antifascismintheusa #antifascistpoetics
I finished Poetry After Barbarism yesterday and sent it on its way. For real—the years of image gathering and permissions and citations too as well as distillation of a dozen years of arguments about how fascism inheres in language and how some
Such a fun day out on the water—by which I mean the remnant of “made water” (to tweak a Sinclair phrase) from the Columbian Exposition south of the Museum of Science and Industry, where @friendsofthechicagoriver educator Mark Hauser

I look forward to trying to express my love for this person, this poet, yet one more time in a public mode. I don't look forward to trying to do so without breaking. Come celebrate our beloved teacher, colleague, friend. I'm honored to be in this com
