"Because poetry remains free of all the other obligations that any other use of language inevitably must take on, it can be devoted purely to the creation of those spaces, where one imagination in the company of another can remember what it is to be alive and free," Matthew Zapruder, Why Poetry?
"Be strange to yourself, / in your love, your grief," Brenda Shaughnessy
Tupelo Press provides the space, and my co-conspirators in the imagination and I will bring the words that find us day after day for 30 days in a row.
Your support of any kind encourages me to get down to the work of the imagination, to dwell in the productive uncertainty that Keats calls "negative capability," and to be strange to myself in the compassionate, transformative way of poetry. 30 days in a row.
Please help the press continue to encourage writers' obsessions, dreams, and radical acts of love. Please help Tupelo continue to publish exquisite and diverse voices. Give today!
