"[T]he great emptiness" inside might be Leslie Jamison’s stated fixation, but the fullness outside—observations, contradictions, human nature—compels her in equal measure. New review @clereviewbooks: clereviewofbooks.com/writing/leslie…
ON BEING WARLIKE --- Folks, I've spent this whole year trying to swing so hard in my poetry criticism-- and here's my biggest swing, an essay on the poetry of @alice_notley -- and maybe my own--
In the Spring issue of The Paris Review, we published an Art of Poetry interview with Alice Notley. To mark the occasion, we commissioned a series of short essays that analyze Notley’s works. The first, by @JoyelleMcS, published today. theparisreview.org/blog/2024/04/2…
This is the only kind of critical engagement I've ever wanted or needed
Baby just pulled himself to stand for the first time, desperately grabbed @lsjamison's Splinters, and is now chewing it on the floor.
Still can't get over this giant ass goldfish @RBGCanada released back into the Hamilton Harbour
This great event is just one week away! Hamilton friends, we hope you can come out!
For the people commenting on my hijab: I started wearing this on March 28th during Ramadan. I've always felt self conscious about what I look like; this helps reaffirm my faith while reminding me that what I look like is my own business. It's like my armour against public life 1/
I won't be commenting about this again. This is nobody's business except mine. 2/
Are book reviews dead? I think there are at least 8 reasons why they're not and I got to talk about all of them in this essay for The League of Canadian Poets @CanadianPoets for National Poetry Month.
Very proud to be part of this arts issue by @TheLocal_TO, w/ a feature about the past and present of (mostly) mainstream arts criticism in Toronto - a subject that needs much more research & documenting. Thanks to everyone who spoke to me for it.
@TheLocal_TO wraps up its Art + Money issue with this fantastic piece by @carlzoilus, and another wicked illo by @michael_deforge thelocal.to/arts-criticism…
