...a new reader, dating way back from yesterday when I was researching Lorine Niedecker more deeply online (your blog yielded a result).
JP O'Malley's interview of Jorie Graham's: unexpected and wholly rewarding. To be sure, in "Place," she has aspired to "without toning down the realities, find what I could: the present tense moment in which joy must exist and can be reached. Yes it will be dark. Still, the gloaming is so rich with feeling — and life — and perhaps a new kind of love? — and the sensation of the other species’ presence — and a slowing of fate — and a widening of presence — and a gratitude."
She had me then, sealed it with the next question.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts! I found that same excerpt wholly satisfying: a succinct explanation of the potential of poetry and its wider relationship with the world. I haven't read *Place* yet, but I'm looking forward to it especially now.
Hope your Lorine Niedecker research is going well-- she's a tricky poet to pin down, even so close to her home.

Among CNN and Mimeo Mimeo, this gem.
Again, thanks.
