A Book about Sarah Mangold
I’ve been writing about Sarah Mangold’s poetry and books for years, and was pleasantly invited to contribute to Report from the Mangold Society, thanks to old review connection rob mclennan.
From Charles Potts:

I am excited to announce I have a new review of Nicole Sarrocco’s Casino Lounge Gospel in Chris Dusterhoff’s SPREAD, a free poetry pamphlet found throughout Seattle.
Recorded at Kezira Cafe in Columbia City, Seattle on February 25, 2022. Featuring D’Vonne Lewis, Farko Dosumov, and Jim O’Halloran. With a special poetry reading by Paul Nelson for his book release of Haibun de la Serna.

Another review! Zephyr Press’s The World’s Lightest Motorcycle by Yi Won, Translated from Korean by E. J. Koh and Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello, is now up at North of Oxford.
I am pleased to announce that my recent performance poem, “The Fiend of Leschi,” posted in its recorded form here, has been included in a new form in North of Oxford’s Pandemic of Violence Anthology.
Note that in the poem, Leschi refers to the neighborhood (in Seattle), and not the Nisqually chief.
Happy 60th, Paul E. Nelson!
Following a recent 60th birthday, Paul E. Nelson celebrated with a reading and we engaged in an interview shortly thereafter. Both are available on YouTube.
