THE IOWA REVIEW celebrates National Poetry Month 2019

Izzy Casey

There is a difference between abandoning our artistic obsessions and tackling them from unexpected angles. As poets, it’s crucial to resist “poetic stuckness” and reconfigure our understanding of “what we know.” The Iowa Review is thrilled to celebrate another poetry month with our annual online feature. For the month of April, TIR will publish a poem a day online by poets who do not neglect their impulses, but embrace them through a process of redefinition.
