We at the Review mourn the loss of Gary Indiana (1950–2024). In celebration of his life and work, we’ve unlocked his Art of Fiction interview from our archive. theparisreview.org/interviews/785…


Thinking about Gary Indiana has me wanting to keep writing my little books until I die


"Because there is still time, time left over from time, every minute that you didn't die is time and a half"

Gary Indiana, “Five O’Clock Somewhere,” last paragraph, @GrantaMag 166: Winter 2024

Like a fool I thought I'd moved past Anne Carson or something? I'm reading Wrong Norma and she's blowing my mind all over again, just like when I was 20 and found out you can sneak almost anything into a book if you call it "poetry"

One major reason I like to write poetry is that I can be insane there. In fact, it's better if I'm insane


The problem with revision: When I'm not looking at the poem, it seems like it should be easy to go in and fix it, just replace the bad parts with better parts.... but then I look at the poem and it resists revealing why it's bad. It's bad everywhere and nowhere in particular


Buddy Holly was flaming hot???? I feel like I've been lied to

"I think this is important: memories and ideas happen in a place. An essay is a place for ideas; it has to feel like a place. It has to give one the feeling of entering a room." @egabbert thegeorgiareview.com/posts/the-essa…


"The poets I love most find ways to subordinate their own sovereignty over the work of art to the law of sound"
