Amaranth Borsuk publishes collaborative poems and interview

The latest issue of Hampden-Sydney Poetry Review includes a series of poems from IAS faculty member Amaranth Borsuk's collaboration with Terri Witek, W/\SH, a book of speculative ecopoetics that grapples with climate catastrophe. Comprising a series of myths and visual transmissions, the poems connect women on two worlds—one beset by torrential rains, the other by drought—as they seek to course correct for the sake of their children.

For the issue, Borsuk and Witek also responded to 4×4, a set of four interview questions asked of four poets that considers the use and value of poetry. The collaborators used it as an opportunity to reflect on collaboration itself.

The issue is available now through the journal's website.
