recently back from Cuba, where things are indescribably difficult and still i've returned even more convinced of the power of poetry. Poetry's Bridges International Poetry Festival in Matanzas is making the impossible possible. it is a true privilege for me to be a part of this project.

@hedeenk.bsky.social : “There’s a real trend (in Latin America) toward commodifying poems to compete with prose, so I seek out poets who write against that trend—not just writing poems but writing poetry.”

@hedeenk.bsky.social “American readers want a special kind of poet—someone who is ‘Rah-Rah revolution’ or ‘down with the revolution.’”

The poet I've spent the most time with over the past couple of years has been Antonio Gamoneda. His book Burn the Losses is incredible. Out from Action Books in April. Let me know if you want an arc.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Reviewing new writing is crucial in building a literary ecology. This is especially true of works in translation - it's essential to bring the translated works into contact with US literature through reviews and other responses. Message me if you want an arc.

This will be a very special event. I will be reading with Ann Jäderlund for the first time, and also with Katarina Frostenson and her translator, Brad Harmon. These are possibly the two most influential Swedish poets of the past 3-4 decades. I hope you will all join us!

"The light boils beneath my eyelids": Wrote a substack about Eva K Olsson, Gamoneda and McLuhan's idea of print-vs-acoustic age. I'll post it later. In the meantime, here's the first page from Gamoneda's incredible book Burn the Losses (trans @hedeenk.bsky.social + Nunez):
