I’m back home from my whirlwind magical NYC trip already & I was feelin sad & missing the incredible poets I met but then I read this Sandra Lim poem & now that’s…all I care about?
I’m enthralled by Sandra Lim’s new collection THE CURIOUS THING and these lines from “San Francisco”:
My railroad apartment was a small cloth diary
with a lock and key. It was my real life,
or what so often passes among us for real life.

“Lim’s voice, which is fiercer and more dexterous than ever, brings into being a collection of powerful, dark, and inscrutable poems that defy gravity”

"Somehow, [Borson's] work reminds me that we don’t really count in the scheme of things. And yet that news is startling each time, a kind of friendly pleasure in a book filled, like Basho’s, with death and partings and weather."
—Sandra Lim
