Kurt Luchs: Poetry in Conversation

Poet and editor Kurt Luchs talks about how he selected the poems for Tributaries, his latest collection-hybrid-anthology, newly released by small press Sagging Meniscus. In Tributaries, Kurt Luchs chooses twenty poems that hold vital meaning for him as a reader and writer—many, but not all, recognized as classics—and pays twofold tribute to them. First, he explores each poem with a deep-diving personal essay on how the poet works their magic upon us. Then he gives a tribute poem of his own, in response to, or inspired by, the poem under discussion.
