I first saw Ryan Van Winkle read in Oxford, at an event I also read at. Later, on the Mexican Poets’ Tour, I visited the Scottish Poetry Library, where he is Poet-in-Residence, but he was gone, traveling to Berlin. This October we were both featured in Carcanet’s OxfordPoets 2010 anthology, and I was proud to be featured alongside such an accomplished young poet. Van Winkle’s new collection, Tomorrow, We Will Live Here, which won the Crashaw Prize for first collections, is published by Salt.
