Poems & Literal Truth
The Fall 2014 issue of New Ohio Review includes the feature “Poems and Literal Truth” with essays from Lawrence Raab (“Should Poems Tell the Truth?” [pictured]), Daisy Fried (“Truthless Demands”), Adrienne Su (“Where Are You Really Writing From? Reading and Writing Place and Experience”), Louise Glück (“A Brief Response” which begins “Frankly, I have no idea why this should be any sort of problem.”), Carl Dennis (“Telling the Truth in Poetry”), Kim Addonizio (“Pants on Fire”), and Michael Ryan (in which Ryan shares his experience reading through poems for Iowa Review – one of which came in with the title “Father”).
