Eduardo C. Corral: The Possibilities
b'
Eduardo C. Corral introduces recordings by poets who create and encourage possibilities for others through their inquisitive teaching, their artistic commitment to mystery, or by being fully themselves. He celebrates Beckian Fritz Goldberg\\u2019s dedication to delight and surprise (\\u201cThe Possibilities\\u201d), Bei Dao\\u2019s inscrutability for the way it affirms the human condition (\\u201cLandscape Over Zero\\u201d), and Francisco X. Alarc\\xf3n\\u2019s generous spirit and embodiment of what a poet can look like (\\u201cOde to Tomatoes\\u201d). To close, Corral reads his poem \\u201cTo Francisco X. Alarc\\xf3n,\\u201d delving into the impact this elder poet has had on his own writing life.
