Breaking Into Blossom

“It goes without saying that Luke Hankins and Nomi Stone have curated a star-studded anthology of writers—from Ilya Kaminsky to C.D. Wright and Ross Gay—who cultivate an aura of surprise and wonder as their poems draw to a close. But to stop there would be to greatly underestimate Hankins’s and Stone’s powers as editors. What I find so compelling about this anthology—in addition to the masterful craft of the writers gathered here—is the project’s ethical and philosophical underpinnings. Here, Hankins and Stone set forth an ethics of poetic closure, as well as a detailed and practical taxonomy of all the myriad ways a poem can ‘break into blossom.’ Hankins and Stone reveal a poem’s aesthetics as being inextricable from its ethics, and this nuance makes for an incredible teaching tool. This volume is an achievement, a beacon, and a masterclass. Bravo!” - Kristina Marie Darling, author of Look To Your Left: A Feminist Poetics of Spectacle and Daylight Has Already Come: Poems
