I am delighted to be part of the Dispatches from the Poetry Wars website. I have great respect and admiration for the main co-conspirators, Michael Boughn and Kent Johnson and they have me in good company:

Mamma mia! They want me to contribute more of my interviews and get other interviews on the site, like the large sampling of my 2015 interview with José Kozer:
If you are an interviewer of poets, get at me. I’d love to see a lot more people doing interviews and I am happy to go anywhere my way is paid and give workshops on the art of interviewing. They veer toward the outside of the poetry spectrum, but not so far out that they forego actual content, bless them. That’s part of why I am there. In the meantime, check out some of the essays and commentaries and let the next sortie begin.
