Intervwr: What about Yeats?
L Glück: He’s a very great poet, but do I read him regularly? No. When I read d poems, I think they hav that feeling of having always been in the language. They’re gorgeous. I don’t like stadium poetry. I like, “Come closer, let me whisper in your ear”

Becoming by Jane Clarke

I am becoming mother
to my mother; closer

to mother than I have ever
been. I feed, bathe

and console my mother
who fed, bathed and consoled me.

I read my mother stories
till she falls asleep

to dream of her mother
coming to take her from me.

excited to delve into this new book of Black poets, poets who are out of print, lesser-known, ignored by the academy etc.

My story, “Necessary Evils” originally published in The Southern Review—the truth about a certain organic chemistry professor who might have been fired from a university in Lower Manhattan. (Don’t worry, I changed his name.)

Hope you enjoy!
