The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes craft pieces on craft, writing problems, information about professional literacy and labor issues for writers, and detailed citations and analyses of the poems I’m reading.
I wonder if Brooks' "Infirm" is inspired by the Black sermonic tradition. I cannot write anything intelligent about this idea; it just seems so to me.
Lovely to see a polish writer here.
