Interview with Amelia Gorman, author of Field Guide to Invasive Species of Minnesota, on ecology, invasive species, and weird poetry…

I’m proud that the book represents a couple weird, fringe spaces. It’s speculative poetry, some poems extremely so, like the one about eels going into space, or giant crayfish kaiju battles, but a lot are less narrative and more subtle. And I think most speculative poets can think of one time or another that their work was pushed out one place or other simply for not being “literary” enough.
