“Is oneness with nature our end goal, or just another way we luxuriate while strife is all around us?” Ali Kulez reviews Ethel Barja’s chapbook “Hope Is Tanning on a Nudist Beach” (Oversound) in our Spring 2024 print issue: raintaxi.com/print-edition/

Today's Featured Poem: "Leaffish" by Etienne Marsolet, from Issue 9 of Oversound. Read here: poems.com/poem/leaffish/

One thing I like in Richard Greenfield's poem, "Cenotaph: Salt Cedar and Shed," is how it positions grieving for a death. Thanks to Oversound for publishing the poem! thekalliope.org/cenotaph-salt-…

My close reading of Angelo Mao's poem "Split the Lark," published in Oversound Issue 9. Included, it's remarkable callback to Dickinson's poem, "Split the Lark -- and you'll find the music." thekalliope.org/split-the-lark…

I have done a close reading of @SarahWolfson1's poem "Let Us Mark This Day" (from Oversound). Specifically, a rhetorical close read. I like thinking how poems can operate rhetorically! thekalliope.org/let-us-mark-th…

I have a close reading of @JoeHallJoeHall's poem, "Ekpyrosis, the Watershed" (published in Oversound Issue 9) at my blog. Handle it with care. It involves a lot of burning flames of the apocalypse!!!! thekalliope.org/ekpyrosis-the-…

I've written a close reading of Lindsay Turner's poem, "The Mice," published in Oversound Issue 9. Most interesting to me is the relation of individual section to assembly of sections. thekalliope.org/the-mice-by-li…
