Riantly - Poetry Readings

These are readings of poems with a brief note attached to them. Some of the poems are longer form, some are shorter. Sometimes the note is a personal note and others it is a scholarly or craft discussion. In this way I hope to make all poetry more accessible in what language is capable of even within this world, our world. riantly.substack.com

  Poetry as a Form of Resistance: Xi Chuan's Don't Deprive Me of My Complexity

  Jun 19, 20258 minS0

  <p>You can purchase "Bloom," by Xi Chuan tr. by Lucas Klein here.</p><p>Chuan is a pivotal figure in Chinese poetic and literary community. Outspoken regarding political needs and with both a reverence and disgust for literature, “Bloom” is full with poems that seem to simultaneously mock high-brow efforts of pseudo-reality in language, as well as contend with the need to address that a writer necessitates complicated inner mechanisms. </p><p>“Bloom,” has a wide range of poetry both tender and declarative, at times feeling as though you’re reading someone yelling at you to pull your head out of you...

  Ecopoetics in Action: Ariana Benson's Love Poem in a Black Field

  Jun 12, 20257 minS0

  <p>You can purchase "Black Pastoral," by Ariana Benson here. </p><p>One of those older contemporary books at this point. In that odd three years old period where some will have forgotten about it in the quieting of its hype, and others eagerly await the next from Benson. Having only recently read through it, time passing from its popularity, I have to insist: it is not a mistake to read this work, to sit deeply and longingly with the poems. They are visceral and evocative, full with the weight of a downpour after a long drought. </p><p>Benson’s...

  <p>You can purchase "Songs Blood Deep," by Gwen Nell Westerman here. </p><p>I loved Gwen Nell Westerman’s work, and thought the steadfast observational powers on display were the work of a poet truly interested in engaging with what is in front of her. </p><p><p>Riantly, or with Laughter is a reader-supported publication.
