WHERE YOU'RE AT: POETICS AND VISUAL ART

The art of conversation may be a genre in decline, overshadowed by the twitchy blips and bugs of social networking, but Kevin Power brings it all back home with his marvelous collection of interviews with eight poets about visual art. Interviewees include Robert Duncan, Jerome Rothenberg, Michael McClure, Robert Bly, Robert Creeley, Bill Berkson, George & Mary Oppen, and David Meltzer. Substantial in nature, there is something of a casual intensity that keeps the conversation moving. Power's thoughtful questions evoke fresh information and perspectives from poets who have been interviewed extensively, and as I noted in an earlier post, Creeley's interview (originally published in Niagara Magazine) is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between poetry and the visual arts. Order direct from Poltroon Press.
