Jon Thompson
JON THOMPSON‘s first collection was The Book of the Floating World (2007), endorsed by Susan Stewart. His collection of lyrical essays, After Paradise: Essays on the Fate of American Writing (2009), was endorsed by Susan Howe. His current project, Landscape with Light, is in the venerable tradition of landscape poetry, but with a difference: it meditates upon rural and urban landscapes in iconic American films. In addition to writing poetry and essays, he edits Free Verse: A Journal of Contemporary Poetry & Poetics, an online poetry journal of poetry, poetry in translation, interviews and reviews. I also edit the single-author perfect-bound, paperback poetry series, Free Verse Editions, which since 2005, has published original poetry and translations by leading poets in the Anglophone poetry world and outside it: Brenda Hillman, Cole Swensen, Adam Clay, Peter Riley, Attilio Bertolucci, Molly Bendall, Caroyn Guinzio and others.
