THE REVIEW AS STARTER, NOT CONCLUSION

I come belatedly to this conversation between Thomas Fink and Chris Pusateri -- I note it because it mentions an earlier review I did on Pusateri's book COMMON TIME in Galatea Resurrects.

What I love about the conversation is how it referred to my earlier review -- because I think reviews are at times (often) mistaken as conclusions about a work, rather than an engagement that can extend the conversation the book began or the beginning of a new conversation.  I believe this is particularly important for poems, which often are (created) as openings.

Anyway, check out the smart(!) Fink/Pusateri conversation HERE.  My earlier review which they reference is HERE.

Among other things, you also may learn something interesting about ... titles.
