Willow Springs
Issue 65 of Willow Springs features poetry and prose by Matt Bell, Diana Joseph, Laura Kasischke, David Wojahn, Gary Copeland Lilley, and Robert Wrigley, among others. A conversation with Charles Baxter ranges from plotting the points between Barthelme, postmodernism, and Kafka to exploring the theory-death of the avant-garde. Fady Joudah takes a stance against the term “political poetry” and discusses fidelity in translation.
