While writing feeld I was looking to writers like Cathy Park Hong, M. Later on I grew more restless and edgy and discovered poets like Peter Orlovsky and Bill Bissett: authors who’d utilize unconventional re-spelling as a kind of earnestness. Jos Charles: When I was first getting into poetry I only knew the writers I’d been presented-largely early modern writers like Shakespeare or Donne-so I wrote like them before stumbling onward to Blake, cummings, Spicer, Pound.
The book delivers an experience like no other, and today we got to ask a few questions in response.į eeld is bold, if it’s anything! How did that choice to write in Middle English happen for you? It couldn’t have been easy, could it? - and, who supported you in that choice early on? feeld investigates language, identity, politics, the body, place-all through a masterwork of Middle English language poems. Last year, we had the honor to share a number of poems by the wonderfully talented Jos Charles-in 2017, their debut collection won the National Poetry Series prize and has just been published by Milkweed Editions.
