Object & Idea: Presenting Thaisa Frank w/ flash fiction; and David Jonas with poetry. Showcase, where each writer analyses their work and answers detailed questions about their craft, philosophy, intentions, and aesthetics. Enjoy!
It's cool that David submitted and talked about a poem he says doesn't like very much. It opens the conversation, and what he does end up saying about it is as thoughtful and instructive as what he might have said about a poem of his own that he does like. It's evident from the structure of the poem and his comments about it that there is a poetic intelligence at work here, despite self-judgment.

I LOVE Showcase! I learn something every time I read the work and the interviews. Thanks so much.
Appreciate your thoughts! Thank you for reading and contributing.
I love the part where David likens his poetry to a quote from Kevin from the office. Ha!
Enjoyed reading these! Interesting insights.
