Pushcart prize winner Richard Siken in conversation with Dorothy Chan  

Paseamos por Nonú, territorio inventado por la joven asturiana Laura Ramos, con la que charlamos de su nuevo poemario, Pasan cosas bellísimas (Ed. Isla elefante), un libro inteligente, moderno y juguetón que bebe del imaginario medieval. Luego, Ignacio Elguero nos recomienda varios títulos: Tú eres la tarea (Ed. Acantilado), volumen que recoge los aforismos de Franz Kafka y Picasso de nunca acabar, el nuevo número de la revista Litoral. Además, nos asomamos a la ventanita poética de Javier Lostalé, que hoy nos lee unos versos del leonés Elías Gorostiaga, ganador del V Premio Internacional de Poesía Juan Rejano-Puente Genil con Las provincias de Benet o vivir en un Chagall (Ed. Pre-Textos), un libro lleno de referencias literarias. En Peligro en la estación, Sergio C. Fanjul nos recuerda el revuelo que provocó la novela El Jarama a propósito de la edición comentada que acaba de publicar la editorial Cátedra. Terminamos Desmontando el poema con la ayuda de Mariano Peyrou, que esta vez nos habla de Crush (Ed. Ultramarinos), poemario repleto de contrastes del estadounidense Richard Siken que ahora podemos leer en nuestro idioma gracias a la excelente traducción de Juan G. Benot.Escuchar audio

hello again daddies and dadettes - as we continue to stagger out of our Covid-19-induced flop era we're back with a dad-approved review of The Smiths' genre-making "The Queen is Dead." by now, you know the drill: tune in for music takes but also hot takes on incel ideology, how Morissey prefigured the "I don't deserve rights" meme, Alicia Silverstone's antivax politics (and OnlyFans account), the Richard Siken bot, why Nina Dobrev sounds like a Soviet spy, and why buying Smiths CDs is like buying secondhand leather. We loved this one so much we went beyond the album with four personal favorite bonus tracks (and did plenty of Morrissey impressions along the way). enjoy!

Sara Borjas introduces poems that focus on the connections between a particular, collective ‘us'—people connected by lineage or language, by place, or by the acts of writing and reading. She shares Layli Long Soldier's exploration of wholeness and mother-daughter relationships (“WHEREAS her birth signaled…”), Juan Felipe Herrera's centering of people and complexity (“Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way”), and Richard Siken's breaking of the fourth wall to implicate the reader (“Planet of Love”). To close, Borjas reads her poem “Narcissus Complicates an Old Plot,” a celebration of mothers and daughters, language, and community rooted in place.Watch the full recordings of Long Soldier, Herrera, and Siken reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:Layli Long Soldier (2017)Juan Felipe Herrera (2009)Richard Siken (2002)Transcripts for each episode are available here.

In our very first episode, we're talking about contemporary classic Crush by Richard Siken. This award winning homo pomo poetry collection was the perfect place to dive in to the queer canon. We talk about male violence, reinventing the Bible in our own image, and David Lynch. What even is a poem? What even isn't a poem? We investigate. Additional Reading: Mulholland Drive (2001) Dir. David Lynch Without Protection by Gala Mukomolova Extra Credit: Follow us at @wedidthereading. Read more of Clementine's words at @clementinevonradics. See more of Pia's drawings at @pia_marchetti.

Connor and Jack amble through the enchantingly twisting Richard Siken poem "Landscape with a Blur of Conquerors." They discuss the responsibility of artists, the ways that culture both creates and is created, and how the poem flows to the logical extremes of its subject. Get "War of the Foxes" here: https://bookshop.org/books/war-of-the-foxes/9781556594779 Landscape with a Blur of Conquerors By: Richard Siken To have a thought, there must be an object— the field is empty, sloshed with gold, a hayfield thick with sunshine. There must be an object so land a man there, solid on his feet, on solid ground, in a field fully flooded, enough light to see him clearly, the light on his skin and bouncing off his skin. He’s easy to desire since there’s not much to him, vague and smeary in his ochers, in his umbers, burning in the open field. Forget about his insides, his plumbing and his furnaces, put a thing in his hand and be done with it. No one wants to know what’s in his head. It should be enough. To make something beautiful should be enough. It isn’t. It should be. The smear of his head—I paint it out, I paint it in again. I ask it what it wants. I want to be a cornerstone, says the head. Let’s kill something. Land a man in a landscape and he’ll try to conquer it. Make him handsome and you’re a fascist, make him ugly and you’re saying nothing new. The conqueror suits up and takes the field, his horse already painted in beneath him. What do you do with a man like that? While you are deciding, more men ride in. The hand sings weapon. The mind says tool. The body swerves in the service of the mind, which is evidence of the mind but not actual proof. More conquerors. They swarm the field and their painted flags unfurl. Crown yourself with leaves and stake your claim before something smears up the paint. I turned away from darkness to see daylight, to see what would happen. What happened? What does a man want? Power. The men spread, the thought extends. I paint them out, I paint them in again. A blur of forces. Why take more than we need? Because we can. Deep footprint, it leaves a hole. You’d break your heart to make it bigger, so why not crack your skull when the mind swells. A thought bigger than your own head. Try it. Seriously. Cover more ground. I thought of myself as a city and I licked my lips. I thought of myself as a nation and I wrung my hands, I put a thing in your hand. Will you defend yourself? From me, I mean. Let’s kill something. The mind moves forward, the paint layers up: glop glop and shellac. I shovel the color into our faces, I shovel our faces into our faces. They look like me. I move them around. I prefer to blame others, it’s easier. King me. Find us at our website: www.closetalking.com/ Find us on Facebook at: facebook.com/closetalking

In this episode, I read "Litany in which certain things are crossed out" by Richard Siken. It's a long, long poem and one that keeps you hooked from sentence to sentence, line break to line break. It's a poem where the scenes shift and unfold almost like a play on stage. It is the litany of a lover who loves too much and believes he gets too little in return. He knows he loves too much. He knows he shouldn't. Yet he finds it hard to love any other way, even when love fails him completely, and forever. Listen in!
