LARB Digital eDitions #35: Poetry

National Poetry Month has come to an end and we here at LARB Poetry are about to launch a number of new projects and adventures that will take us through the rest of 2015. What better time to look back on the last few months of conversation, inquiry, and poems that we’ve been so honored to host at Los Angeles Review of Books?


The essays in this epub represent poets thinking and struggling with what it is to make poems and what it is to be in a body that’s making poems in the face of a world that often violently resists being written into. There’s the joy of old friends talking. There’s myth and Wakoski and the arrival of The New World by Jorie Graham. And there is Citizen, a book whose cultural relevance is illustrated and amplified each day.


We’re glad to have you thinking alongside us.
