Lucie Brock-Broido

Hosted by
Trouble in Mind: Poems (Knopf)
The ecstatic and ghoulish poetry of Lucie Brock-Broido is stitched together from fragments of poetic history. In this case, she writes a whole suite of poems from titles that Wallace Stevens listed in a notebook but never used. How does she arrive at her very original voice when quotation and appropriation are her constant strategies?
