“Natalie Lyalin is writing some of the best poems in the world. There is an evil in her gorgeous poem-hearts. She must have sold her heart to the devil to write like this—so beautiful, so funny and so strange. Her images stack and stack down the page without spilling, each line such a bombshell you'll start reading backward to the first line. These poems are like babies—they will pop out of trees.” WorldWritingFirstsHeartBeautifulEvilReadingLinesTreeStrangeBabyPagesDevilPopsGorgeousSpillingBombshellsBest Poem Author:Zachary Schomburg
“When I was a boy, I choked on a piece of candy outside the kitchen window for a few minutes while watching my parents making dinner. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want to scare them. Our existence was so separate, a dying and a doing well, an outside and an inside. Trey Moody's poems hover in that cold, wet, refrigerator-lit place between the dying and the doing well, the outside and the inside. His poems are the thoughts of the person you love who is always standing behind you, slowly and silently suffocating. But they're not afraid to say hello, and please, and I'm scared.” WantWellsPersonsDiesParentBehindsExistenceBoysPiecesMinutesDyingColdPleaseStandingWindowScaredDinnerKitchenScareNot AfraidWetHelloCandyLitBehind YouRefrigeratorsMoodySuffocating Author:Zachary Schomburg
“In Bergman's world I represented a sort of intellectual, skeptical, ironic person, rather cold and frustrated. When I went abroad and made films in Italy and other places, I was used in different ways. I was rather often cast as crazy people, maniacs. It was very good for me and it was fun because it is nice to play crazy people if you are not in reality. And I think perhaps that changed how Ingmar saw me. Suddenly I was on the more magical side of his world, playing the people with fantasies, variety, the artists.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWayPersonsMadeDifferentPlayRealityFilmUsedArtistFunSidesFantasySawsNiceCrazyChangedColdIntellectualVery GoodCastsVarietyDifferent WaysIronicFrustratedSkepticalManiacsCrazy PeopleBergman Author:Erland Josephson
