Poets on Craft: “The Furious and Burning Duende”
Sandra Beasley, Mahogany Browne, Jacqueline Jones LaMon, and Patrick Rosal. Moderated by Danielle Barnhart. Lorca tells us that the artist is possessed by duende, a malign spirit that burns the blood like powdered glass. This panel asks if poets can or should summon duende at will. Is it fleeting and ephemeral, or can it be harnessed as an instrument of craft? Five poets who have written about and with duende share their experiences invoking the dark, elusive creative force. We promise fiery exchanges on this evocative subject.
