In a new Behind the Byline interview, staff reader Carolyn Orosz talks with NER 46.2 poet Bridget Lowe about the reflexive nature of meaning-making, brokering the relationship between form and content, and radical wonder.

I'll stand by "I am tired of tidings," for the most part. But getting a message that @thedodgemag.bsky.social nominated "East of Eden" for the Best of the Net anthology, those were tidings that put some wind back in my sails. Thank you to the editors, especially @sambranopoet.bsky.social.

I started writing my PhD dissertation today. Rather than a traditional dedication, my dedication page will contain a poem that @sambranopoet.bsky.social showed me. It's the most accurate depiction of being a patient-scientist that I've found since starting my work. verse.press/poem/poem-to...
