Celebrating poets: DAWN LUNDY MARTIN

Hi Everyone,

We’re coming up on National Poetry Month and what better way to celebrate than to shine more light on the already luminous Dawn Lundy Martin.

Here’s a short clip of Dawn discussing her extraordinary poetry collection, Good Stock Strange Blood, winner of the 2019 Kingsley Tufts Award for Poetry:

And a quote from Maggie Nelson on the work:

"Every time I read Good Stock Strange Blood, a new book awaits me. Which is to say, it's got trapdoors, trick sleeves; it takes swerves, detours, and dives. Dawn Lundy Martin's poems read like a real-time excavation of what poetry can and can't do; how the past is never past; how to stand in the blur, the 'griefmouth' of personal and collective pain, and somehow make thought, make fury, make song."

Enjoy!

Abrazos,

Cristina
