Just a quick post to share my latest published book reviews!

First up is my review of Millicent Borges Accardi’s collection Only More So (Salmon Poetry) which can be read at Queen Mob’s Tea House. In it, I discuss the use of lists as an engine behind a number of Accardi’s powerful poems.

Also, my review of Magic City Gospel (Hub City Press) by Ashley M. Jones is available to be read at Fjords Review. In this review, I focus on the ways Jones reckons with history on a personal level to pay homage to Birmingham, Alabama.

Just a quick post to share my new interview series for the Cincinnati Review blog focused on #poetsofinstagram!

The interviews in this series will range from poets who work with erasure/blackout poetry and found poems, to poets who combine their own artwork with their text. These interviews will focus on the writing itself as well as the sense of community to be found among poets on social media.

Check out the first interview with @nomadic_words and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

See you Friday!
