Poetic Dispatches from the Co-op Board

Featuring poems by Hannah Arendt, Benjamin Krusling, Margaret Ross, and more

View this email in your browser In the Fall issue of The Paris Review, we bring you poetic dispatches from an imaginary co-op board meeting, the Paris of poets' prayers, the cliff of desolation, and a never-ending evening. We also continue our long-running conversation about life and art in two interviews: The Art of Poetry No. 117, in which Ben Lerner interviews the legendary Rosmarie Waldrop, and a previously unpublished conversation between James Schuyler and Peter Schjeldahl about Frank O'Hara and the glory days of the New York School scene. If you're curious to know more about how great poems happen, look out for our online Making of a Poem features with two first-time contributors to the Review, Mark Leidner and Sara Gilmore.   —Srikanth Reddy, poetry editor pray for paris Benjamin Krusling and I've heard parisians tell me never to go ,   that nothing good can happen there ever again Cooperative Margaret Ross Orange snow lit by sodium vapor.
