Another remarkable poem by Carl Phillips from our winter issue

ALT Making a Sound Like Darkness If it weren't immodest, I'd say modesty's one of the few things left about me that I can almost admire, still, except it's hardly a thing worth caring one way or another about, to have been who one is. Look at the trees, not trying at all to be anyone's idea of flourishing without an instinct to make what can't be held holdable: the struggling first; the bit of hush, just after; then the longer shadows getting cast by everything I remember wanting.
Rhea Tregebov reading Anne Szumigalski (1922-1999)
George McWhirter reading José Emilio Pacheco (1939-2014)
Robin Susanto reading Sapardi Djoko Damano (1940–2020)
