Chatting w/ POTW 💙 Derek JG Williams Ordinary, sufficient love juxtaposed with greatness. And you’re a father yourself now, with a father who gets “smaller” each visit. A lot of us are writing about our fathers, and our own fatherhood. What do you think we’re/you’re reaching for?

Sloan Asakura — Our Poet of the Year 💙 In “Saturn Makes Noise,” you refuse to flatten Saturn into a monster...dust, longing, “Saturn began to dream of wedding rings.” The terror & the tenderness share the same sequence w/o really fighting with each other. How do you begin, write, & finish a poem?
