That is correct β Kentucky poet here, living in Indiana. Published with MSU Press. I believe Diane Seuss is a Michigan poet? jason b crawford grew up in Michigan
Yep, thatβs the one!
Yes, he has a lot! The one that I found interesting was his Art of the Poetic Line. While I didnβt agree with everything in the book, it was a great read to widen your perspective of what poetic lines can do
Thatβs a great list! I also found the craft books by Louise Gluck, Ted Kooser, Mark Doty and James Longenbach helpful. Thereβs also an essay that Carmen Giminez published many years ago (I think it was on Lithub or the Poetry Foundation?) about revision that was formative in my craft
Huge congrats!!! π π₯³β¨

EDGE MARKERS -Kentucky, 2004 The llamas clump against fence wire, staring toward three deer eating nearby crabapples, as if considering what god made their bodies so similar, so elsewhere.

βDaniel Lassell is a master of subtraction, of what he calls a loosening joy. The poems here are filled with song, prayer, and silence. Restless and reflective, they shift and rub against the natural world, its vastness and its granularity, with striking precision and clarity. Here, a world accumulates even as it is undoneβwreckage and reverence inexorably intertwined.β βRichard Siken, author of I Do Know Some Things, War of the Foxes, and Crush
Siken is such a titan in modern American poeticsβapproaching him about a blurb seemed, far-and-away, a longshot for me. But Iβm glad I asked. Shortly after sending him an email, he responded to me with such sincerity. And I am so incredibly honored with these gracious words he shared about my book
Sikenβs prose poems are keenly crafted, expertly honed. And the thematic weaving and narrative arc of this new collection! It is his best book yet. [...]
