A poetry conversation with Chained Muse’s David Gosselin and Versecraft’s Elijah Blumov. On narrative poetry, where patronage comes from, and more. Poetry by Wilbur, Robinson, Stallings, and Carter.
I enjoyed this piece because it explores the idea of the sublime in a reflective and creative way. It felt thoughtful and beautifully written. https://www.wordlelimericks.com/
You give so much insight in all you do whether it's reading, being interviewed, sharing perspective, analysis. Your posts could be curated into a book!
Carter’s “The Gleaning” is in his second book, After the Rain (1993). In a blurb on the back, Gioia places the book in the tradition of Frost. And certainly this poem, of a class of poems I might term “everyday tragedies,” hearkens back to Frost’s terrifying “‘Out, Out—’.”
The highlight of After the Rain is the 17-page “Barn Siding”: another accident, another story.

Thank you for this! In the Reaper book I dint think it mentioned where the poem came from. I’ll try to track down the collection! 🙏
Yes, in the acknowledgments, it says that "The Gleaning" and 4 other poems were originally published in The Reaper.
Thank you so much, Ethan! I think we covered a lot of things I was not expecting to.
