For this profile, I got to interview the incredible and versatile poet Corey Van Landingham about her work. Her poems are about power and drone strikes, relationships and love, desire and disease. What I found most striking was the way Van Landingham balanced the interior world of a poet with a broad social awareness; her poems navigate the tension between a personal and a public life. I adored her book Reader, I, which dissects a marriage with tenderness and incisive clarity.

It was a delight to read her work, speak with her about nerdy poetry stuff, and write what I hope is an engaging profile of a profoundly interesting poet. Read the full article at Lewis & Clark magazine.
