Rattapallax Blog

October 26, 2010
Ryukan

Much of the summer Your Wily SPLABman was busy reading poems and interviewing Northwest poets for a Ratapallax Magazine feature. You can see biographies here. There’s a chance we’ll start doing some radio again. The Rattapallax feature is linked here: http://rattapallax.org/blog/2010/northwest-poet/

Poets included:

Emily Kendal Frey, Sarah Mangold, Erin Malone, John and Robert Olson, C.E. Putnam, Mary Paynter Sherwin, Dan Raphael, Carletta Carrington Wilson, & Maged Zaher. The publishers asked me to include my work and we may soon have an interview to add to those I have done with all the participants.

I’d love your feedback on who should have been included and the emerging facets of West Coast and Pacific Rim poetry.

In the call, we stated: “We are looking for words that come from thoughtful reflection and compassion for the loss we feel for ourselves and this country. (Please no screeds.)” Still, we got many poems that were filled with righteous anger, on which we passed. The book features many poems that offer suggestions, pathways and even self-care tips for the new Winter in America. That very phrase “Winter in America” comes from Gil Scott-Heron, and was used by the editors as a sort-of invocation to Gil’s spirit and legacy. I
