Opening a Place: Ben Lerner in LRB

Back in the summer of 2015 when I still liked poetry, liked it idly, as I was gardening, say, or doing the dishes, that is, without thinking about it too much, I missed Ben Lerner's inviting consideration of poetry (and Poetry) in the London Review of Books (18 June 2015 issue).

Coming to it over coffee this morning with the first snow of the season melting from the deck, I experienced a renewal of sorts.

Here it is, in case you missed it too, or would simply like to return to it now.
