A selection of published interviews with other writers and artists and my own work.
“Interview // Lines of Energy: A Conversation with Jeffrey Yang” (Poetry Northwest, November 2018)
“All The Power You Possess” (Darling Magazine Issue 23, February 2018)
I love the language that comes out of science and engineering and all these things that can feed into poetry. I admire the work of Hugh MacDiarmid, the Scottish poet, who brings a lot of that different language into some of his poems. I remember a great thing that Etel Adnan, a Lebanese-American Poet, once said: that she fell in love with English and learned English through listening to sportscasters because there’s so much specific language and language play. To me, science can bring that sort of fun and specificity into language.
