Ep 15: How Not to Write About Poetry
NB: Though the publication is not listed in the book’s acknowledgments, it turns out that “Without” did in fact first appear in Poetry in 1995. So I was wrong, big fucking surprise.
Some of the topics mentioned in this episode:
– Anne Helen Petersen’s article “The Master’s Trap”
– LitHub
– Paul Legault’s article “How John Ashbery Thinks: Reading the Collages of a Great Poet”
– Jesse Nathan’s article “Short Conversations with Poets: Kaveh Akbar”
– Kaveh Akbar’s poem “The Palace”
– Donald Hall’s poem “Without”
