Divinations III: Lakes, Cosmic Convergence, & the Scientific Sublime
“We can find poetry anywhere we look.”
In our third (and numerically auspicious, so says Sandy) episode of the Divinations seven-part mini-season, poet Standra Yannone and I discuss my work-in-progress poem “Hereafter,” which is inspired by a whole host of things:
the Little Oracles lexical fractal "lake” (part of the original Little Oracles multimedia digital installation, back on view at littleoracles.com/exhibit)
Sandy’s inaugural poem, “The Stars on the Snake River” from Episode 2 of the miniseries
and Ada Limón’s “After the Fire”
We get into the intensity of the word “if,” poetry as a chance to change, manifesting cosmic convergence (led by Ada Limón), and more. Plus, Sandy shares a snippet of her response poem to my featured reading. Find the full transcript here.
