The newest online issue of Plume: A Journal of Contemporary Poetry (#168) features Hester Knibbe’s “The homeless roamer,” translated from Dutch by Arno Bohlmeijer; Elí Urbina’s “Beyond the Unnamed Thickets of Silence,” translated from Spanish by Jeremy Paden, and works by Tara Skurtu, Sydney Lea, Mary Jo Salter, Jane Springer, Gary Soto, Sharon Dolin, Christopher Buckley, Christina Pugh, Billy Collins, Ron Smith, some of which include audio recordings, and commentary from the poets and translators.
The issue also includes “A Master of the Living Art: A Conversation with Paisley Rekdal by Frances Richey” and featured essay, “Obeying the Call of Luminous Things: Writing in Paris with Czeslaw Milosz by David Havird,” which “exegetes the Nobel Prize winning poet, Czesław Miłosz’s Aristotelean obsession with particulars over against ‘universals,’ which he referred to repeatedly in his poetry as ‘luminous things.’ In so doing he reveals just how effectively and memorably Miłosz transformed the recondite expression of philosophical parlance into ‘memorable speech.’”
