Call for Papers







C.D. Wright was described in the New York Times as a poet who “belongs to a school of exactly one.”



For Randall Jarrell, “The good in poetry is always a white blackbird, an unusual and unlikely excellence.”



Poetry seems to have exceptionalism at its core.



But poetry is also a practice of the commonest medium there is - language. People within all classes and groups cherish its use: the well-landed expression, irony and word plays, subtle forms of power.



Poetry’s status as the oldest and most widespread of the verbal arts likewise implies a close link to tradition. All the same, a residual strangeness seems to pertain to poetry in all cultures. It may be that tradition is a stranger thing than we tend to imagine.



How do poems relate to the world they proceed from or create? What is the world of a poem?
