A strange turn occurs toward the middle of Frederick Seidel’s 2009
Paris Review interview. The poet, whom Adam Kirsch once deemed the best in the United States, describes himself as coming late to an appreciation of New York School poets James Schuyler and Frank O’Hara. Until this point in the conversation, Seidel’s distinctive sensibility snapped into place commensurate with his biography. His patrician vocabulary and profoundly conservative sense of rhyme and meter gestured toward his Harvard education and his Sorbonne classes at midcentury. Visits to Ezra Pound in 1953 (who at the time was institutionalized and warding off a treason charge for his radio broadcasts in support of Hitler and Italian fascism during World War II) and T.S.

In her new memoir, writer and activist Jennifer Finney Boylan recalls her past through seven beloved canines. By Greg Rienzi / Published Winter 2020
The writer Jennifer Finney Boylan sits behind her home office desk, half in light, half in darkness. How appropriate, she deadpans. Our video call in early fall begins with a blip of a technical snafu, and when her image finally appears on screen, she fusses with her hair and straightens her glasses, using monitor as mirror. I look like somebody s grandmother, she says with a smirk, before leaning back. Oh well. So, what s happening? You in Baltimore? I am. Boylan is in Belgrade Lakes, Maine, which I can glean from the sliver of water and tall evergreens that peak through the window on her left. She lives here two-thirds of the year with her wife of 32 years, Deirdre ( Deedie ). They have two grown children: Sean, 24, and Zai, 26.
BOTH VINNY Glynn-Steed and Aoife Reilly have an ongoing love affair with language. It is this that drives their poetry rather than any need to deliver a message.

Updated Jan 28, 2021;
SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio Local poet Jim Lawless has drawn upon a cache of 1,500 poems he has written over the past 50 years to compile his latest book of poetry his first in six years titled “Family.”
While his first two poetry books covered an array of topics, this time out Lawless has selected works based on his favorite subject, as the title plainly states his family.
Known to some as president of the South Euclid Commission on Aging, Lawless, a 40-year resident of the city, spent his career writing about a variety of things. He covered energy and the environment, housing, transportation, politics and a host of other subjects while reporting for The Plain Dealer from 1978 to 2005.
