Our next Letter In The Mail, going out later this week, is from poet D. A. Powell!
Powell was a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow, and his fifth book of poetry, Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys, was published this year by Graywolf Press to an overwhelming outpouring of much-deserved praise. D. A. has also won the Lyric Poetry Award from the Poetry Society of America and has been a finalist the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry.
You can read The Rumpus interview with D. A. here, The Rumpus Poetry Book Club chat with him here, and his Rumpus Original Poem here. (In case it isn’t clear yet, we’re very excited about this one!)
