An openness to language: a conversation with Rodney Koeneke and Davy Knittle
Update: 2020-02-19
Description
In Episode 69 of PennSound podcasts, Davy Knittle hosted poet Rodney Koeneke in the Wexler Studio to discuss his book, Body and Glass (Wave Books, 2018). Their conversation touches on Koeneke's writing process and use of pronouns as a "distancing technique," the role of poetry — particularly experimental forms — in America today, and how joy might emerge from work about loss. In the podcast, the two also examine the traditions that poetry assembles for itself, drawing comparisons between modernists like James Joyce and contemporary poets.
