“On the Death of the Friend of a Friend,” at The Progressive Magazine, and “Patterns for Arans,” at the Poetry Foundation, are centi (poems made of found text);“Self Portrait in a Meadow” is a lament. “Landscaping for Privacy,” the text for composer Eve Beglarian’s stunningly beautiful music of the same name, appears in my second book, The Public Gardens: Poems and History. I interviewed Belgarian for the Herb Alpert Foundation. You can find links to more of her work in that interview. In the fall of 2022, Maw Shein Win taught two poems from Wite Out in her class at the University of San Francisco and asked me to write an essay about my writing process for her column at Rob McLennan’s online magazine, Periodicities.
