1. theparisreview: “For myself, writing has always been the way of finding what I was feeling about, what so engaged me as ‘subject,’ and particularly to find the articulation of emotions in the actual writing. So, I don’t choose my subjects with any consciousness whatsoever. I think once things have begun—that is, once there are three or four lines, then there begins to be a continuity of possibility engendered which I probably do follow. And I can recognize, say, looking back at what I have written, that some concerns have been persistent: the terms of marriage, relations of men and women, senses of isolation, senses of place in the intimate measure. But I have never to my own knowledge begun with any sense of ‘subject.’” —Robert Creeley, The Art of Poetry No. 10 Yes.

About me

Here’s a pocketful of posies and poesie—glossy whatnots, gold stars, confetti, seeds, sequins, ticket stubs, loose ends, notions, trinkets, curiosities, pressed flowers, marginalia, and sundries.

Salutations! I’m Ida Stewart. I’m the author of Gloss (Perugia Press, 2011), and my poems have appeared in a number of journals, including Field, The Laurel Review, Linebreak, and The Journal. I hold an MFA in creative writing from The Ohio State University, and I’m currently a PhD in creative writing candidate at The University of Georgia. I’m a co-editor of Unsplendid and have also served as an editorial assistant at The Georgia Review. A native of beautiful West Virginia, I currently reside in an ivy-engulfed barn in Athens, Georgia.
