“ I publicly identify as a prose writer. I know I’m working inside of that, and I feel naturally influenced by poetry, so genre is important to me because I’m able to identify in one certain thing and make it odder by using other genres in that subject. It’s also a twist for me to call my books novels instead of experimental novels. I am honoring the work by calling them novels, but it’s also muddying the waters a little bit too.” |

“ Acts of Poetic Composition”
An Interview with the poet Andrea Rexilius
An Interview with the poet Andrea Rexilius
“Yes, it's definitely another way of talking about subtext, but it's also related to the ways in which a poem is often smarter than its writer. It's how you allow yourself to make without controlling the process too much, so that something unfolds for you, as the writer.” (from an interview with Andrea Rexilius) 
In this interview with Andrea Rexilius, we chat about the poems we’ll be featuring from her fifth book, The Way the Language Was, her process, and how she presses into the emotional impetus of the work.

COMING JANUARY 2019
Andrea Rexilius’s NEW POEMS Inverted Syntax is proud to announce that it will be featuring, in its January 2019 print issue, previously unpublished poems from Andrea Rexilius’s fifth book of poetry, The Way the Language Was. Rexilius describes her book as one that “considers history and artifact (relationships to past poetic traditions, current and past uses of language), and linguistics and botany (relationships between the environment and speech).” It’s been four years since Andrea Rexilius’s third book of poetry was published. Today, Rexilius has two books of poetry coming out: Sister Urn (Sidebrow Press, Spring 2019) and The Way the Language Was (Letter Machine, Spring 2020). |
