Thanks so much to poet and Seawall editor Ron Slate for inviting me to take part. I've been a fan of Marianne Boruch's work for years, but never had the opportunity to write about her poems before.

Margaret Rhee: "A Way I Could World-Build in Poetry"

11/1/2016

0 Comments

 
A few years back, I read some work by Margaret Rhee in a Kundiman anthology and thought, Okay, now here's someone to watch out for, when she publishes a collection of poems. And when I read her chapbook, Radio Heart, I was reminded all over again how her poems take familiar experiences and emotions and make them strange and fresh and new. All of which made it fun and fascinating to have the chance to talk with Margaret about her poems for this Ploughshares interview.
