![]() While working on my MA thesis, a chapbook of poems, at the University of Cincinnati, one of my professors, Danielle Deulen, in reviewing my work, said that my poems lacked tension. Though at this point I had been studying poetry for years, this is the book that made me love poetry. This was the book that made me think I might want to read a collection of poems as much as I’d want to read a novel, something I’d never even imagined. Richard Siken’s Crush changed poetry for me after reading this book, poetry suddenly became something that was passionate, tender, and complicated, but also accessible. In honor of Valentine’s Day this week, I want to celebrate a book of poems I’m in love with. ![]()
