I’m absolutely thrilled that the delightful Jerome Rothenberg has featured my rescued poetry on Jacket2 , a leading online journal that offers commentary on contemporary poetry and poetics. You can read it over here.
Her procedural poetry, as presented here, adds significantly to the line of such poetry in modern and postmodern writing — in both her poems and poetics. The idea of the “rescued poem” is indubitably her own, and a further collection of poems as examples will shortly be gathered as a book.
Jerome is an eminent American contemporary poet who started his career as a translator of poetry. He is also a highly regarded poetry anthologist, editor and poetic theorist. One of the most well-known anthologies for which he is responsible is the beautiful Technicians of the Sacred , a collection of poetry and incantations from indigenous peoples around the world.
