POETS, ESSAYISTS, READERS: I’m teaching a class on the “lyric essay” (for lack of a better term rn)—what essays do you recommend, even if they’re not classified as such, that we read together? Any suggestions (&links!) would be appreciated! #poetry#poetrycommunity#writingcommunity#lyricessay

“Perhaps the lyric essay is an occasion to take what we typically set aside between parentheses and liberate that content—a chance to reevaluate what a text is actually about. Peripherals as centerpieces. Tangents as main roads.” - Julie Marie Wade #cnf#lyricessay

Liz DeGregorio says: "It’s got Leo DiCaprio. It’s got poetry. It’s got childhood crushes. It’s got NYC..." I edited a wonderful exploration on Jim Carroll's "Living at The Movies" over at the Poetic Conversations column at ANMLY blog: medium.com/anomalyblog/... #poetry #lyricessay

Oh hey I haven’t said it here yet. It’s ON DREAMS week at BloofBooks.com, which means $5 off Maureen Thorson’s new book of essays. Here’s what @natalieshapero.bsky.social says about them, and a little excerpt!

Natalie Shapero’s blurb for On Dreams by Maureen Thorson, which says, in part, “Thorson’s essays are adroit and aphoristic, resonant and recursive, and stealthily instructive in the ways of the world. …[A] telescopic window into a vast and fascinating mind.”
Announcement graphic about the $5 off deal, which says “It’s On Dreams Week at BloofBooks.com! Get $5 off Maureen Thorson’s new book of essays. Enter 5OFFDREAMS at checkout.” To the right of the big eyeball (from the cover’s painting) are two small inset photos of Maureen and the front cover.
A sample spread from the book, two pages in which Constantin Brancusi’s Bird in Space is discussed, among many other things, like how dreams made Mark Strand grumpy in an interview.
