Background Reading Holly Iglesias’s Boxing Inside the Box: Women’s Prose Poetry (2004) changed my life because it made me think in new and highly inventive ways about my own practice as a woman and a prose poet. It is still the most brilliant work written on women and prose poetry today! After reading this book, I began to read Iglesias’s prose poetry and connected strongly to the themes around Catholic school, childhood, and history, in particular. In an interview with Angela Redmond-Theodore, Iglesias stated, “For me as a child, being in a church was a flood of sensual experience. In order to access memories of that time of my life, all I need is a rattle of bead Contribution This portfolio makes intertextual use of both Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments (1977) and Maggie Nelson’s Bluets (2009) to explore powerful responses to sex through the charged utterances of love and heartbreak. Stephen M Phelps asks, ‘Can we learn how a fleeting touch drives a frenzied heart, or why the delay between contact and withdrawal can span a decade? An answer worthy of our effort should begin at the skin’s surface, yet somehow end in poetry’ (2017: n.p.). This portfolio honours that notion. Significance This is a French publication and has multilplatforms so there is a recording as well as an online campaign and an anthology. Verse of April is the digital anthology of homage to the poets and was established in 2015 in Paris, France. We believe that practicing the act of homage, to poets of today and yesterday, is a powerful life force in art-making and helps us reflect on the mystic or explicit influence certain writers have on our approach to thinking and seeing. Verse of April is a multi-media platform, ensuring that people from any kind of expression feel welcome to pay tribute to the poets.Publication classification
