InkRichard Siken's "Crush" is one of those poetry collections that instantly make you regret everything you've ever written in that nothing can be as good as the poem you just read, or the poem your reading, and probably the poem on the next page, too.

HuginnIt's an older interview (2015), but the absolutely mindblowing poet Richard Siken a) writes fanfic and (#wincest, #destiel, #johnlock) b) says really smart things about derived works and 'sampling' poetry.
Always brilliant to see your faves say good stuff.
I'd recommend his debut Crush to every gay / bi / pan man who wants to have a lot of feelings.

pearwaldorfA new #RichardSiken collection!! I'm so glad he's feeling well enough to write again after his stroke a few years ago.

“My new book _I Do Know Some Things_ comes out in Fall 2024. It is 77 prose poems about what I can remember about my life. It is autobiographical. A backstage pass. The true story about the death of the boyfriend in Crush will be published online this August 1st in Pithead Chapel.”

(((Cindy Weinstein)))@litstudies. I just got these pretty flyers from #CambridgeUniversityPress. One is for a monograph I wrote; one is for an essay collection I edited and includes some extraordinary work by #MarkGoble, #BobLevine, and #StefanieSobelle, to name a few (there are many more). Both consider representations of #time in #US #literature. You'll find essays on #poet #RichardSiken, #Shaker dancing, #marronage, and much more. There is a 20% discount, which brings the cost to ~23.00.
