It's an older interview (2015), but the absolutely mindblowing poet Richard Siken a) writes fanfic and (#wincest, #destiel, #johnlock) b) says really smart things about derived works and 'sampling' poetry.
Always brilliant to see your faves say good stuff.
I'd recommend his debut Crush to every gay / bi / pan man who wants to have a lot of feelings.

A new #RichardSiken collection!! I'm so glad he's feeling well enough to write again after his stroke a few years ago.
@litstudies. I just got these pretty flyers from #CambridgeUniversityPress. One is for a monograph I wrote; one is for an essay collection I edited and includes some extraordinary work by #MarkGoble, #BobLevine, and #StefanieSobelle, to name a few (there are many more). Both consider representations of #time in #US #literature. You'll find essays on #poet #RichardSiken, #Shaker dancing, #marronage, and much more. There is a 20% discount, which brings the cost to ~23.00.
