Van's work is tremendous! I frequently teach his poems & they blow students away--expanding their understand of what poetic structures can be & how they can function. Thanks for the great interview! Am excited to share this with students too.
Sean, this is a really deft little interview. I’m suffering through a book af interviews right now where the interviewer doesn’t know how to listen or ‘read the room’. Made me appreciate this one all the more. Thank you.
“I think if poets knew that more people without MFAs were reading them, it would show in the poetry.”
Thanks for this, Sean.
