ACCRETION PANEL 2. FROM VENUS & OTHER NOISES BY STEVE WILLEY


The first issue of ON, a journal devoted to contemporary poetics, featured over twenty essays (and a few epistolary collaborations) focused on poets such as Taylor Brady, kari edwards, Brenda Iijima, CJ Martin, Emily McVarish, Yedda Morrison, Hoa Nguyen, Sawako Nakayasu, Julie Patton, Dana Ward, and Alli Warren. Our goal is to offer a survey of the field Oas it stands,¹ written by and for those Owe¹ are reading and discussing, with the intention of bringing reflection to a discourse during a prodigious cultural moment. We hope you¹ll contribute to the second issue by engaging with the practice, poetry and poetics of one of your closest contemporaries.More information and submission guidelines on Crg Hill.
