"One of the wonderful things about poetry is that your body is the vehicle for its creation or expression." Jonathan Fink discusses his debut poetry collection, The Crossing (Dzanc Books, 2015), and touches on building a manuscript, the merits of poetic form, and the role of the poet in the twenty-first century. Fink is one of the debut poets featured in "Fractures Through Time" in the January/February issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.
