Interview: MxT
Found this on the CBC. A radio interview from 2014 with the lovely & amazing Sonali Karnick. “Award-winning poet and professor Sina Queyras just published a pretty pink book about a dark topic. “MxT” deals with death and grief but in a lighter way with graphs and diagrams. 11:24. //www.cbc.ca/i/caffeine/syndicate/?mediaId=2443930554

New Poems Up
Several poems from My Ariel, my new manuscript, are up across the Internet. If they look familiar, they should be: they are re-visions, ghostings, confrontations, and responses to Sylvia Plath’s Ariel.

Sunday Poem: For Coach House
I feel the need to go back to the moment before I created Lemon Hound, the blog, which means, going back to the time of writing Lemon Hound, the book, a process that made me aware of my more vocal alter ego. Here she is, lounging confidently in an open window, on a bridge, in […]
