xiii Acknowledgments I would like to thank, first and foremost, all of the poets included here. This book would have been impossible without their generosity of time and energy, their spirited engagement with me as an interviewer and poet, their brilliant insights, and, perhaps most of all, the poetry that sparked it all. Thanks must also go to my dear friends Julie Enszer, Eric Schramm, Marshall McClintock, Philip Clark, and RJ Gibson—for guidance, encouragement, and friendship during the process of seeing this book to fruition and beyond—and to my family for their continued love and support. Raphael Kadushin, Matthew Cosby, Anne T. McKenna, Logan Middleton, Adam Mehring, and everyone at the University of Wisconsin Press have my deep, deep gratitude, for shepherding the project to its successful publication and for believing in its necessity. Lastly, I would also like to thank the anonymous outside readers who offered helpful suggestions on the manuscript. Many of their suggestions were very useful in finalizing the book. Special thanks to Henry Abelove for pointing me to the poem from which the book’s title originates, and of course immense gratitude to Christopher Bram for his eloquent foreword. Some of the interviews have appeared, often in much shorter form, in the following publications: American Poetry Review, Writer’s Chronicle, and Bloomsbury Review, as well as at the Poetry Foundation’s website. I gratefully acknowledge the editors of these publications. [34.224.33.93] Project MUSE (2024-03-29 09:38 GMT) Our Deep Gossip ...
