The
Kenyon Review in which I converse with poets about their work and interests both on and off the page. Today’s poet is torrin a. greathouse, author of the debut collection
Wound from the Mouth of a Wound (Milkweed Editions, 2020), the winner of the Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry selected by Aimee Nezhukumatathil. They have received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Effing Foundation, Zoeglossia, and the University of Arizona Poetry Center. They are the author of two chapbooks,
Therǝ is a Case That I Ɐm (Damaged Goods, 2017) and
boy/girl/ghost (TAR Chapbook Series, 2018). Here, greathouse discusses accessing “the register of self-mythologization”, writing from the “triangulated position of identity,” and the desire to “force readers especially cis abled readers to collapse the space between our bodies for the distance of a sonnet.”

Abstract
Small libraries frequently face significant challenges related to funding and staff capacity when attempting to complete large projects and improve infrastructure. With careful planning and a bit of luck, however, it is possible to leverage small successes into much larger accomplishments. The University of Arizona Poetry Center, a special collections library of contemporary poetry within the College of Humanities at the University of Arizona, recently adopted this approach to implement a systematic overhaul of its preservation program.
