The folks at Blotterature just published a three-part interview with writers from Women Write Resistance: Poets Resist Gender Violence as part of their Blot Lit Reviews. The interview features the anthology's editor, Laura Madeline Wiseman, alongside some of my favorite poets, including Tyler Mills and Sarah Chavez. Check it out to read the many-faceted perspectives from writers in the anthology on what we think about whether writing about gender violence has any taboos and whether it should "appeal to men."

The folks at Spoon River Poetry Review put together a great conversation about how teaching poetry that raises issues of gendered violence reveals and moves the borders of our comfort zones. I'm glad to read the thoughtful ideas and experiences of poets like Tyler Mills, Grace Bauer, and Sarah Chavez as I think through the work I'll be doing with students this fall.
