Good Things To Read On The Web

Stephen Dobyns’s interview at Cortland (I hear their new poetry editor is hot)
http://www.cortlandreview.com/issue/26/stephen_dobyns_interview.html

and Illya Kaminsky’s discussion about arrogance and Wright’s work.

Mr. Kaminsky is my favorite young poet hands down and if you haven't read his book Dancing In Odessa well that is just wrong.

oh and the Burnside interview with Dorriane Laux was damn good but I think that is just in print.

read the dobyns interviews awhile back and enjoyed the hell outta them. ilya is absolutely on the mark about wright--i just wrote something similar today--he's not afraid to look less than perfect, which tonally balances out the arrogance and adds an interesting tension to his work.

i haven't read ilys's book. please don't hurt me.
