"I'm interested in things that iterate and shift depending on context, depending on vantage, depending on perspective, depending on relation. So maybe that's what some of that is." Evan Williams interviews Kirsten (Kai) Ihns about her poetry collection Of clereviewofbooks.com/writing/kai-ih…

If you’re not familiar with Kai’s poetry, please do yourself the favor of becoming acquainted. I had the chance to speak with her about her latest book, “Of,” for Cleveland Review of Books.
