On CEASE @ The Rumpus: ” I think apocalypse has its roots in “revelation,” right?, and that would seem to speak to the poem’s method of disclosure. If an apocalypse is “an imminent end of the present world,” it does seem the poems in CEASE play out by “imminent end of the present word” as the meaning reveals itself turn by turn.”
“On Proximity and Beauty:” Beth writes about language and boundary at Krista Tippett’s ON BEING blog.
On her poem “wild” at Poetry Society of America.
