A beautiful new interview up with poet Veronica Kornberg, author of STRANGE GIFT and Winner of the Wandering Aengus Press Book Award in Poetry 2025: www.poetose.com/pub/creators...
“Craft-wise, there are so many techniques to break open the door to mystery—the surprisingly-placed line break, the open fields of blank space for breathing, repetition and chant, the compression and expansion of time within a short space—to name just a few.” -Veronica Kornberg“It’s always the poem itself that demands the form that satisfies, so I try to stay attuned and open to what a poem is telling me it wants to be.” -Veronica Kornberg“For me, one of the dearest things that poetry can do is to show how extraordinary the ordinary truly is. ” -Veronica Kornberg“Like most important desires in life, finding a place for myself will never feel 100% finished, but I think that's a good thing—to keep seeking and expanding.” -Veronica Kornberg
