Abstract: Acrylic on canvas24 × 24 inchesCourtesy of the artist2019The image of a bedroom with Earth’s moon [Moon Bedroom, the first painting in the Modularity Space series, of which Earth Reading Room is a part] materialized in full color when I read about India Mahdavi’s global approach to interior design. She said, “I see space being divided by curtains instead of having walls. Because it gives you the modularity.” I was inspired by her use of colors, textures, and shapes to create livingscapes that are both otherworldly and familiar.Painting the human spaces alongside the solar objects felt like creating miniatures, a subject matter to which Gaston Bachelard dedicated an entire chapter in The Poetics of Space, examining ...

Abstract: I’m of the late 20th-century mix-tape generation, an era of cassettes lovingly ordered and bestowed upon friends or more-than-friends with the hope that not only each song but also their chronology and proximity would merit consideration. Curating The Hopkins Review for you elicits a similar pleasure, particularly imagining the physical publication reaching you, a thrill centuries older than my personal nostalgia, complicated and magnified by the sense of responsibility inherent in curating not familiar pop songs but of-the-moment and never-been-read-before literature. If, however, you’re more of a flip-around-the-issue reader, there are no hard feelings here. In fact, may I recommend dipping in on page 25 or page ... Read More

Abstract: I called a friend and asked to be picked up from Home Depot, where I’d spent all afternoon pushing my cart through the gardening section, picking up whatever looked sturdy and useful. I saw a spade, which looked a lot like what I had, until now, considered a shovel, and wondered how a shovel and a spade differed in form and function. But I didn’t look for a shovel or search for images of shovels on my phone or ask anyone. I already knew what I needed to know: that the cheapest way to pay for a tomato was with money, not time and labor. I was trying to grow something else. Like intuition. Or connection—to my body, or to dirt, or the cycle of time. I found a brand of dirt called Miracle-Gro. I took this as an ... Read More

Abstract: Here’s what you need to know: I’m 28 years old, and, when someone asks me where I’m from, I stammer.I was born in Yerevan, Armenia, to a shoemaker and a woman with big hips, a woman boys from the neighborhood wrote poems for, went to the army and came back for. We moved to America three years after the fall of the Soviet Union, in the summer of 1993. I was five when I arrived in East Hollywood, an area that, in a few years’ time, would be officially designated “Little Armenia” by the Los Angeles City Council. I grew up in a one-bedroom apartment on the corner of Kingsley and De Longpre, and, until I was 20, I slept on a convertible sofa bed with my grandmother. My older sister, by 11 months, slept on the floor ... Read More

Abstract: Moun Lakou tells the story of a young Caribbean girl living with her single-parent mother in a 1960s urbanized neighborhood near Pointeà-Pitre, Guadeloupe, with additional opening and closing chapters that detail her adult life as a successful Caribbean migrant in Florida. This excerpt from the English translation, Camille’s Lakou, begins with the adult Camille dictating her memoir to Evelyn, her personal assistant, and it includes two chapters describing the life of the lakou. “Lakou” is a Kreyol word that readily translates to “courtyard” or, more colloquially, to “yard” in English, but the location and layout for what a lakou might look like and function vary across a spectrum in the region. In Camille’s Lakou ... Read More

Abstract: Marlon is being banished from his home. In the old language, home can be said in a simple way that means “my standing house, my home.” A different word for home expresses the hold it has on you, how a person can be so connected that separation makes you homesick. Home sinks its teeth into you and is a part of you, you a part of it. That way of saying home is “it bites on my mind.”He’s walking down the most central road on the reservation, ushered away from his cabin by women wielding branches. It’s 8:30 a.m. He hasn’t slept for two days, and the women are lashing him from behind with red willow sticks. His terrycloth bathrobe does little to dull the pain. It’s like a last review, but he isn’t sure if he’s the one ... Read More

Abstract: Kim Uchiyama makes austere, elegant paintings that explore the expressive possibilities of order, geometry, and associative hues. Her recent work is also about her experience of ancient architecture and the Mediterranean world, especially Sicily, where she has spent extended time. This is not to suggest her paintings are disguised landscapes. Far from it. They are instead poetic reinventions of her sense of place in the language of paint. Uchiyama has assimilated the brilliant light, transparent water, and varied terrain of the island, including its wide range of vegetation, from lush greens to parched browns. She has looked hard at its ruins and classical temples and internalized their proportions so thoroughly ... Read More

Abstract: This essay was first delivered as a talk at a conference in honor of Adam Zagajewski at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, June 21, 2022.How does “Poetry Talk with Philosophy” in Adam Zagajewski’s work' The key is in the “how,” since poetry and philosophy don’t share a common language. Poetry, even in all its wild variety, is not an art of systematic propositions, arguments, and proofs. We should pay attention, as well, to the verb “talks”: poetry can talk, but it also murmurs, exults, evades, suggests, hints, curses, chants, sobs, and prays. In his essays and poems, Adam Zagajewski wrestled for decades with the “how” of poetry’s talk with philosophy: it mattered to him. Because, as he wrote in an essay on ... Read More

Abstract: Thirty years before White Noise, Don DeLillo’s 1985 postmodern paean to the pleasures—and perils—of consumer culture, Allen Ginsberg raved about “shopping for images” in his prose poem “A Supermarket in California.” “What peaches and what penumbras!” he extols in its third paragraph. “Whole families shopping at night! Aisles full of husbands! Wives in the avocados, babies in the tomatoes!”Swap Berkeley, California, for the fictional “Blacksmith,” Ohio, the peaches for packages of sugar-free chewing gum, the avocados for honeydew melons, and you have the alimental abundance spilling across White Noise in double-bagged abandon. “[I]n the mass and variety of our purchases . . . the weight and size and number, the ...

Abstract: What do you call something that goes and comes back in a form not quite, but resembling, the corporeal' Is there any word closer than haunting, or maybe, more narrowly, history' History is a subject that Tracy K. Smith asks us to consider in the introduction to the republished edition of Lucille Clifton’s memoir, Generations.Clifton’s timeless contribution to poetry has a clear through line in Generations—the stroke of her pen, rays of light running across pages, opening possibility through simple, exact and human diction. It cannot go without mention that light is the very definition of Lucille. Smith writes,If light is what the work of Clifton is intent upon spreading, then I’m tempted to think that history as we ...

Abstract: A large painting used to hang in the living room of my childhood home. The artwork is no longer there, having been carried away to a closet during one of my mother’s more sweeping renovations when my father was still alive and residing in the nursing home. I think of this painting as the one with the dark blue letters over a murky orange background. The painting evokes the pleasure of reading, with the artist giving careful attention to each printed character, as if the curves and forms of the letters themselves are the subject of interest. I’m reminded of printer’s type, rolled in deep blue ink, with a warm background suggestive of a hazy sunset. A wisp of a figure, perhaps a foot high, squeezes between two of the ... Read More

Abstract: All the other children were white.I considered leaving, using the tantrum-proof promise of ice cream as an exit strategy. Instead, I held my breath for 10 seconds, exhaled with intention—just as Alan always tells me to—and allowed Jules to wander off and play. In this regard, I’m unlike my husband, who thinks children should be left to interact with the world on their own terms and spends most of his playground-parenting lost in his phone, occasionally glancing at the exits. I’m too busy invoking ancestors and casting protective spells. But it’s been a couple of years now of parenting, and very few people on the playground have proven to be anything worse than casually horrid or vaguely racist. Which is probably ... Read More

Abstract: Vermont’s Green Mountains jut into the horizon like the dramatic, unlikely slopes I drew as a child. They seem so close, as if walking a few miles in their direction I might suddenly bang my knee against the incline. That illusion—that the mountains were only a mile or so around the bend—was unshakable during my drive here. Now, walking the hills above town, I feel it again.I take a few pictures, but the February day is bright, so I mostly capture sun flares against dark hills. I’m at an artists’ residency, and I should be writing in my cozy little studio. But it’s a rare sunny day, and I’ve been eating rich dining hall food with no exercise. Stretching my legs in sun, luxuriating like a cat, I strip off my coat ... Read More

Abstract: When I was 22, I got deeply into burgers. I couldn’t tell you why. I just know that I fell in love with the classic American hamburger. I tried every variety, I went to a hundred restaurants, I spent more money than I should’ve. Do I regret it' Absolutely not. Was it always easy' That’s harder to say. This word gets used a lot, and often pretty carelessly, but when I say it was a passion, I really do mean it was a passion. Some people get into sports, some people get into drugs, some people get into poetry and are never heard from again. But for me, for a while there, it was burgers and nothing else.For example: I once drove from DC to Atlantic City in the pelting rain just to get a burger. I’d been told of a place ... Read More
