Joan Houlihan, editor of Perihelion, interviews me about contemporary poetry, poetic form, the avant-garde, and other related topics. Here's the link.

Go, Paul!

What could be more “authority-based” or “top-down” than the notion of a literary avant-garde, out there “seeking the authority of the rebellious” – and whose only imperative is to be elliptical about it? I personally think Pound was full of succotash, but you use his words to good effect. I’ve now read “The Shape of Poetry,” and the interview is sending me off to find “Disorderly Orders” and “The Enchanted Loom.” Keep ‘em flying.
