Read Sarah Cohen’s interview with poet Linda Bierd, “”Lyric and Narrative,” in the online version of The Atlantic. They talk about Bierd’s latest book, Flight, and how fiction informs her poetry, how history is important and what science has to do with it all. (There is some great craft insights here.)
“I’m always hoping to combine the lyric and narrative, and writing poems allows for the economy that introduces mystery and the ‘grand ineffable.’”
