This week, Holly Amos speaks with Joanna Klink, who joins us from Austin, Texas. Klink is the author of five books of poetry, most recently The Nightfields, and she shares some new poems that appear in the February 2023 issue of Poetry. If described directly, the poems feature the mundane, yet they carry a deep sense of unease. Amos states, “The unease is gorgeous, and the gorgeous is uneasy.” Speaking toward that uneasiness, Amos and Klink get into psychic longing, time and aging, attention and attunement, death, and their very different childhood dinner tables. We also hear Muriel Rukeyser, an important influence for Klink's poem “Called,” speaking in 1959 about the role of the poet in society.

Joanna Klink curates poems that blend dream and waking, sparking ordinary life with visionary fire. She shares Jon Anderson wrestling with the desire to walk away (“In Autumn”), Sherwin Bitsui's haunting epic of water (“Flood Song”), and Linda Gregg's dreamscape of life without loneliness (“Alma to Her Sister”). Klink closes by reading her poem “On Diminishment,” an intimate, interior landscape of silences and withheld speech.You can find the full recordings of Anderson, Bitsui, and Gregg reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:Jon Anderson (1984)Sherwin Bitsui, as part of “Multilingual Poetry of the Southwest” (2010)Linda Gregg (1981)

Joanna Klink meditates on personal loss. Produced by Katie Klocksin.

Listen to Joanna Klink read "Feverish" for #NationalPoetryMonth. Originally published in Harvard Divinity Bulletin, Spring/Summer 2009.

John Morgan’s new book Archives of the Air and Jeremy Pataky’s collection Overwinter are featured at this event. Poet Jeremy Pataky who reads from his collection, Overwinter (University of Alaska Press, 2015) According to Joanna Klink, “ Jeremy Pataky’s poems find their ground in Alaska—its woodpiles and stone piles, its fishbones and lichen, its uncrossable creeks. There is an almost ancient attention to what is living in a landscape, and to the scales of human loss.” Jeremy Pataky lives in Anchorage and McCarthy, AK. He is a founding board member of 49 Writers. (2:41-28:56) John Morgan’s new collection of poetry is called Archives of the Air (Salmon Poetry, 2015). He is the author of several books including River of Light: A Conversation with Kabir, and a collection of essays called Forms of Feeling: Poetry in our Lives . John’s poems, according to Annie Dilliard, “ are strong and full of carefully controlled feeling. They are tender and precise evocations of the moral and sensory life of man.” John Morgan has taught Creative Writing at UAF and currently lives in Fairbanks and Bellingham, WA.
