Thanks so much to @lynnelamberg.bsky.social and @sciencewriters.org for featuring my chronicle of trial and error in creating AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR and finding a wonderful publisher in Cornerstone Press. Also a glimpse of the many books that inspired mine. 🙏🏻📚 www.nasw.org/member_artic...
A bookshelf of books with their spines visible, with text beneath reading: Deirdre Lockwood—An Introduction to Error: Poems “I used to follow parcels of water around the ocean,” Deirdre Lockwood reports in her poem, “My Chemistry.” She divides her first book of poetry An Introduction to Error into four sections: Materials, Methods, Results, & Discussion. A self-described “observationalist,” she offers meditations on research and life: “detecting what is or trying to write it down and not get too seasick along the way.” A photo of books with the spines visible. Titles include Frank: Sonnets by Diane Seuss, Faithful and Virtuous Night by Louise Gluck, Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith, Tributaries by Laura Da', Time is Always Now by Rebecca Starks, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson, Psalms by April Bernard, Glass, Irony and God by Anne Carson, Selected Poems by Gabriel Zaid, Praise by Robert Hass, Tape for the Turn of the Year by A.R. Ammons, Obit by Victoria Chang, Ghost in a Red Hat by Rosanna Warren, Information Desk by Robyn Schiff, Deepstep Come Shining by C.D. Wright, Blackbird Bye Bye by April Bernard, Collected Poems 1937-1971 by John Berryman, Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz, Rooms are Never Finished by Agha Shahid Ali, The Nerve by Glyn Maxwell, The Periodic Table by Primo Levi.

every summer i invite one friend to come listen to Deepstep Come Shining (CD’s full recording) on the hottest day. it’s a conversion. dip them in the river. feed them vanilla yogurt, a peach, boiled peanuts. “an acquired taste”

it’s Deepstep day.

Martin was walking along, or perhaps on, the road going from his home in Milledgeville toward Sandersville. In the all-White settlement of Deepstep, Georgia, he asked Cyrus Harris, a local resident, for water. Harris called 911.

In addition to having written astonishing complete works (books, poems), the late C.D. Wright is among the most surprising and satisfying writers to open to a random passage of:

“Want an onion. They’re Vidalias. Now do you know where we are.”
