Interview with Pinhole Poetry

"Content is often unsettling or painful in poems, but form is play, a residue of the fun the poet had while working.  Of course, like form and content, pain and fun want to be each other.” - William Matthews

That tension is at the heart of the matter of poetry, I think. I mention this quote in the Pinhole Poetry interview:

Pinhole Poetry is a digital poetry journal and chapbook press that loves the upside-down view and the fact that some art only happens in the dark. Our goal is to create a space for poets, artists and readers that unveils a world where time slows down and perspectives shift. We aim to be the pinprick of light for your work. and feature work from emerging poets, established poets, and poets publishing their work for the first time.
