		<description><![CDATA[I have been reading the recent omnibus book review by my friend Kevin Clark in The Georgia Review. Kevin is always smart, perceptive, and open to many kinds of poetry. Here is what he has to say about one book of poems in which, he acknowledges,  it’s difficult to tell what’s happening or even who’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The eighth-century hermit poet Cold Mountain, or Han-shan, looked like a tramp. He wore a birch bark hat, his clothes were ragged and worn out, and his shoes were wood. Jack Kerouac dedicated The Dharma Bums to him in 1958. I’ve been reading the translations of Cold Mountain’s poetry by Red Pine [Bill Porter],  one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an image of molecules of a nasal spray, tiny little things that do a world of good. I picked it because my life feels overwhelmed with illness at the moment, with people in my family who have serious or not-so-serious illnesses, so that’s what comes to mind to write about. I wrote a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hang on. This is a long one, the final of three posts about my book, The Devil’s Child.  Or, it’s really about writing about horrible, terrible, evil things, things so awful that there’s no way to write about them, but if we turn away, split away from even part of what’s true, we’re lost. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Writing About Horrible Things,” Part II, in which I take another look at my collection of poems, The Devil’s Child (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 1999). I don&#8217;t want Barbara&#8217;s story, her suffering and her heroism, to be forgotten.  (Read Part I for the whole story). The poems evolved like this: because I wrote only Barbara&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

My soul has an ambiguous relationship with projects. I like them because they give me something to start with. I can think of it as an assignment in English [...]]]></description>

The second half of his “division” recalls to my mind, of course, the [...]]]></description>
