New poem & video: Lorine Niedecker’s “My Life by Water”

An amazing poem: Niedecker’s “My Life by Water.” We were in Seattle in January 2020 and gathered with poets (among them Rae Armantrout and Bob Perelman) and ModPo citizens in the area and talked about this poem. The poem text and video have been added to week 2 of ModPoPLUS.

Here is the entire Niedecker offering in ModPoPLUS to date (the new materials are last in the list and bolded and italicized):
