Mary-Alice Daniel was born near the Niger/Nigeria border and raised in England and Tennessee. A cross-genre writer, she has published work in New England Review, Iowa Review, American Poetry Review, Prairie Schooner, The Yale Review, and several journals and anthologies. Mass for Shut-Ins, her first book of poetry, won the Yale Younger Poets Prize and was released in March 2023. Selecting her manuscript, Rae Armantrout called it “Flowers of Evil for the 21st century.” Daniel's transcontinental memoir, A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing (Ecco/HarperCollins 2022), was People's Book of the Week and one of Kirkus Review's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year. An alumna of Yale University and the University of Michigan's Writers' MFA, she turns to her third and fourth books, supported by fellowships from Brown University and Cave Canem. Holding a PhD from USC, she is recalled to California for the third time as the 2024 Mary Routt Endowed Chair of Writing at Scripps College. In the 117th volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets, Mary-Alice Daniel confronts culture shock and her curious placement within many worlds. African and Western mythic systems and modern rituals animate an ill-omened universe. Here, it is always night, grim night, under absurd moons. Venturing through dreamscapes, hellscapes, and lurid landscapes, the poems stray inside speculative fields of spiritual warfare. This collection is controlled chaos powered by nightmare fuel. It engineers an utterly odd organism: a cosmology cobbled with scripture, superstition, mass media, mad science. Horrid, holy, unholy—these pages overrun with the unhinged, intrusive thoughts that obsess us all late into nighttime.

Wayne David Hubbard is an author of poetry, essays, and short stories. His literary works explore – both directly and abstractly – aspects of science, philosophy, history, and culture across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Synopsis: In his debut poetry collection, Death Throes of the Broken Clockwork Universe, Wayne David Hubbard illustrates journeys through physical space and abstract worlds of emotion. Combining choreological precision with playfulness, readers enter the mind's eye of a poet standing along the shoreline of powerful forces that shape all lives: time, place, and love.  Written over a ten-year period, the collection calls to mind the poetry of Lorine Niedecker, Rae Armantrout, Larry Eigner, and Carl Phillips. Importantly, these poems resist thick, impenetrable themes, instead celebrating ordinal wonders of life that are hidden in open view. This spare book offers strong, memorable imagery and questions that will delight thoughtful readers.  https://waynedavidhubbard.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Wayne-David-Hubbard/e/B096644MJG?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1669130464&sr=1-1

La doma de leones tiene como objetivo que pensemos que la ferocidad de los leones es ficticia. Que domemos leones tiene como objetivo parodiar la idea del dominio humano de la tierra. Claro que toda idea es un tanteo a ciegas. Pero un poema tiene como objeto volverse el contenido de esa idea. Una idea es un guiso que alguien cuida.

Rae Armantrout is an American poet generally associated with Language Poets. Armantrout was born in Vallejo, California but grew up in San Diego. She has published more than 10 books of poetry and has also been featured in a number of major anthologies. Armantrout teaches at the University of California, San Diego, where she is Professor of Poetry and Poetics. Armantrout was awarded the 2009 National Book Critics Circle Award for her collection of poetry Versed, published by the Wesleyan University Press. The book later earned the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Armantrout's collection, Just Saying, was published in 2013. She is the recipient of numerous other awards for her poetry including an award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts in 2007 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2008. We met in Ottawa to discuss her poetry, William Carlos Williams, place, and how to be a literary tourist in San Diego. 

Rae Armantrout's poems apprehend the world as a place charged by the nonexistent supernatural. For her, the eerie thing is that ghosts don't exist.

Rae Armantrout, Laura Elrick and Rachel Blau DuPlessis joined Al Filreis to talk about Catherine Wagner's "This Is a Fucking Poem."

Hosted by Al Filreis and featuring Laura Elrick, Rae Armantrout, and Rachel Blau DuPlessis.

Rae Armantrout is the 2010 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry for “Versed” (Wesleyan Poetry Press), which the Pulitzer committee cited as “a book striking for its wit and linguistic inventiveness, offering poems that are often little thought-bombs detonating in the mind long after the first reading.” The National Endowment for the Arts has funded publication of her work. Armantrout published her first book of poems, “Extremities,” in 1978. She is active in Southern California’s literary community and her other books include “The Invention of Hunger,” “Precedence,” “Necromance,” “Made to Seem,” “The Pretext” and “Veil: New and Selected Poems.” Poet Robert Creeley has said her work possesses a “clarity of syntax” that features “the calm solidness of words.” Armantrout lives in California.

Prepare yourself for "transformative and ingenious" work from a highly original and beloved California poet, Rae Armantrout, with graduate poet Charity Ketz. Rae Armantrout?s poetry occupies a key position in contemporary traditions of experimental lyricism. Angular and ironic, unsettlingly humorous and precise, her work applies deft pressure to the idioms of everyday interaction, consumer culture, and dream. Armantrout?s poems are motivated by an ?activating desire for clarity," and yet it is a clarity that refuses easy certainties or disclosures. Instead, her rigorous lyricism works by way of acute juxtaposition and productive contradictions, creating a thrilling ?vertigo effect?** for its readers. Her most recent book, Next Life (Wesleyan UP), pushes through narrative surfaces to arrive at the unexpected complexities subtending both language and event. Her "truly philosophical poetry" consistently reveals a "force of mind that contests all assumptions" (NYT Book Review). Rae Armantrout has published nine books of poetry, including: Up to Speed (Wesleyan 2004), a finalist for the PEN USA Award in Poetry; Veil: New and Selected Poems (2001), also a finalist for the PEN Center USA Award, and The Pretext (2001). In 1998, Atelos Press published her prose memoir, True. She is a professor in the literature department at the University of California, San Diego, where she teaches writing. Charity Ketz is a recent graduate of the MFA program at Cornell and the recipient of fellowships from the Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. She has published a chapbook, Locust in Bloom, through Poet's Corner Press, and has poems forthcoming in Black Warrior Review, Colorado Review, DIAGRAM, New Orleans Review, and Artful Dodge.
