Little Fates

How is a person known? Perhaps in the way their coffee cools; as Danny Soberano writes: ‘I knew even then / that I was changed’. Or perhaps, as Yanyi writes, it is in the nailing up a poster, or the stringing of lights across the wall.’ In poetry, each detail matters tenfold and weighs a tonne, but still floats easy, like steam off hot coffee. Poems become an attempt at understanding, a speculation of what else might be possible. In this conversation, Yanyi and Danny Soberano examine poetic form as a tool for knowing one’s self and our surrounds.
