Silvina Lopez Medin: Writing about Writing
b'
Silvina L\\xf3pez Medin introduces poems that reflect on the writing process and the openings we encounter therein when boundaries blur between speaker and listener, creator and creation. She shares Robert Hass on going to the movies and Greek rhetorical devices (\\u201cHeroic Simile\\u201d), Ad\\xe9lia Prado on the earthy charms of poetry (\\u201cSeduction,\\u201d read by Prado\\u2019s translator Ellen Dor\\xe9 Watson), and Anne Carson on making marks (\\u201cShort Talk On Homo Sapiens\\u201d). L\\xf3pez Medin concludes with her poem \\u201cI Am Writing This in My Head, My Hands Inside Gloves That Don\\u2019t Match,\\u201d which considers how the lost lingers in what remains.
