Do come check out the next installment:
Prosody Castle is so pleased to have San Francisco poet D.A. Powell on February 23rd. D. A. Powell's trilogy Tea (1998), Lunch (2000) and Cocktails (2004) has been widely praised as one of the foremost poetry collections written from and about the aids pandemic. Critic John Freeman wrote of Powell's work in the New York Times, "No accessible poet of his generation is half as original, and no poet as original is this accessible." Powell's poems have appeared in New England Review, the Washington Post, Poetry, Virginia Quarterly Review and American Letters & Commentary. His awards include fellowships from the James Michener Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, a Pushcart Prize, the Lyric Poetry Award from Poetry Society of America and an Academy of American Poets Prize. Having taught at Columbia, University of Iowa and Harvard, Powell has recently returned to the Bay Area, where he teaches full-time at University of San Francisco's English Department.
from Tea
"he has been pioneered: given to the final stump allowing
settlement. slow collapse
these trees stripped and unable. there was no child in him: a land
traversed many times
signs dot the road where he should flourish. could the sparse line on
a sign indicate the forest"
