“Sextina” featured in new scholarly book, “Actions & Travels: How Poetry Works”

My poem “Sextina” (originally published in Trout journal, volume 16) is one of the hundred poems Anna Jackson analyses in this new, illuminating work from Auckland University Press. From the publisher: “from Catullus to Alice Oswald, Shakespeare to Hera Lindsay Bird – Actions & Travels is an engaging introduction to how poetry works. Ten chapters look at simplicity and resonance, imagery and form, letters and odes, and much more.” It’s available to purchase from AUP or Unity Books and you can access Jackson’s reading list of poems for the book on her website.
