Arthur Sze has been named the 25th poet laureate of the United States.

In a preview of the fall issue of ๐˜ˆ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฆ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ, Barry Schwabsky reflects on Sze's work:

"Sze wants to encompass as much as Whitmanโ€”perhaps more, since he lives in a time when 'America' would be a limiting term and not an expansive one, and therefore he ignores national boundaries whether geographic or ideologicalโ€”but he does so without conjuring an image of the poet who ties it all together."

Barry Schwabsky on the poetry of Edwin Denby:

"This artifice of the colloquial, the collision of tradition-drenched formality with streetwise argot, plays as large a part in Denbyโ€™s poetry as it did in his conversation, providing what Cal Revely-Calder calls the 'fussiness native to Denbyโ€™s style.'... Denbyโ€™s eccentric rhythms create a festival of surprises, full of starts and stops that nonetheless keep the reader moving inexorably forward."

โ 
Border Documentsโ  is a new photobook from โ Arturo Soto,โ  a photographer, writer and educator. It is โ€œa personal archive of ordinary events that reveals how emotions become attached to public spaces.โ€ Having grown up listening to his fatherโ€™s stories about his youth in the twin cities of Juรกrez (Mexico) and El Paso (USA), fascinated by how much things had changed in just a generation, Soto compiled and narratively shaped his fatherโ€™s memories, then photographed the sites where they occurred.

In this conversation: the concept behind the book; the structure of the narrative; Georges Perec and the infra-ordinary; biography and personal experience; the new book in relation to Sotoโ€™s other work; growing up, studying, working, and traveling in places from Mexico City to Oxford to Panama to Los Angeles; further reading on Ciudad Juรกrez and El Paso; and much more!

New on the website! "Authenticity in Historical Film" by Ryan Michele Tidwell.

"The Romansโ€™ pop-cultural presence in cinema produced such classics as Ben Hur, Cleopatra, Life of Brian, Spartacus, I, Claudius, and even the first Gladiator, along with a plethora of other movies, musicals, and television shows. Ridley Scottโ€™s Gladiator II and Federico Felliniโ€™s Fellini Satyricon also use ancient Rome to entertain an audience, but in vastly different ways."
