Poochigian Reading on "Poetry in Public" Blog
Submitted by Aaron Poochigian on Tue, 02/12/2013 - 21:27Aw, there's a sweet blog post about my reading at "Poetry in Public":
"Whether you think about it or not, poetry is in our daily lives. I attended a poetry reading with visiting writer, Aaron Poochigian, at Thompson Library this past week. At first I really had no idea what to expect but as the reading concluded, I realized how poetry can impact us directly. . ."

She usually interviews musicians, social activists and spiritualists--I was her first poet. A lot of reciting--my stuff, Sappho (Greek and English) and, yes, even my bro' and soul-mate, John Milton.

"Cosmic Purr" review by Prof. Kevin Nenstiel
Submitted by Aaron Poochigian on Sun, 07/01/2012 - 21:29New Formalism and the Classical Contemporary Tradition
by Kevin L. Nenstiel, U of Nebraska-Kearney
Like his fellow classicist AE Stallings, Aaron Poochigian forms a bridge between the dead luminaries he translates, and today's introspective verse. He makes use of the ancient, somber forms so many readers love, but he applies them to a muscular contemporary poetic ethos. And though his verse is very new, addressing current concerns for a living audience, it has a lyric texture of something much older, with a robust Greco-Roman spine.
