There’s a new number of Big Bridge online featuring A Garland for George Oppen, edited by Eric Hoffman. Included is work by Joseph Bradshaw, Stephen Cope, John Cunningham, Thom Donovan, Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Norman Finkelstein, Michael Heller, Eric Hoffman, Grant Matthew Jenkins, Burt Kimmelman, Michael Kindellan, Jack Marshall, Peter Nicholls, Marjorie Perloff, Patrick Pritchett, Martin Jack Rosenblum, Bruce Ross-Smith, Anthony Rudolf, Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno, Mark Scroggins, John Taggart, Henry Weinfield, Karl Young, and me. It’s a broad and inspiring survey of one of my favorite poets. Click here to go there. Thanks to Eric, not only for sustaining his Oppen-efforts but for asking me to contribute as well.
