Obituary from The New York Times.
Martha Rhodes read from her new book, The Beds, last night at URI. Highlight of the evening? Peter Covino asks: “The music of your poems is singular. I feel like I can tell a Martha Rhodes poem just by its music. What do you hear in your poems?” Martha Rhodes responds: “The music of the mind in action.”
Read Klein’s deeply moving post “Abrazos, Adrienne, and the Revolutionary Idea” now on the Ploughshares blog. Adrienne was Michael’s first teacher and the piece teaches so many fine and necessary lessons about being a poet.
There is “no such thing as a career, but only the work that a writer is compelled to do as a response to one’s own questioning soul and outward, into the community in which they live and further out, into the world that will always need to be called out for its insistence on making itself disappear by degrees.”
Michael has an essay in the upcoming issue of The Ocean State Review (out June 2012).
