It was one of those awesome weeks at The Rumpus where when I went to write this roundup, it took me two hours to finish because I couldn’t stop with the reading everything.
First! Going to AWP? Here’s some things to do in DC.
A review of Glass Is Really Liquid, poems by Bruce Covey.
Until There Is No Next Thing — A review of Cradle Book, “a work that inhabits such a broad swath of forms that no one name can be affixed to it” by Craig Morgan Teicher.
Fission Accomplished — A review of You Know the Men Are Gone, linked stories by Siobhan Fallon.
I Felt A Need To Touch Someone — A review of There’s A Road to Everywhere Except Where You Came From, a memoir by Bryan Charles.
Be sure not to miss three really incredible interviews, with Nick Flynn, Laura Van den Berg, and Justin Taylor.
Also, Kyle Minor has a wonderful essay on where he writes, part of a new series here at The Rumpus.
And last but not least, Brian Schwartz is bag with his A FAN’S NOTES column with “From Dallas to Eternity.”
