Thank you, Alan Clinton, for engaging The Feeling Is Actual (Marsh Hawk Press) in the Feb/March 2012 issue of the always-vital Poetry Project Newsletter. Also, it’s pretty cool to see my book reviewed next to a posthumous work by Cesar Vallejo, another fave poet of mine whose influence is all over these serial poems I’m currently writing.
