William Carlos Williams famously wrote that, “…It is difficult/to get the news from poems/yet men die miserably every day/for lack/of what is found there.” I think of that when I read poems like those written by Travis Mossotti, which have been catching attention and raising eyebrows for years thanks to their blend of gritty lyricism and punchy, plainspoken social commentary. Mossotti was kind enough to share some poems, advice, and good news for anyone who likes to read stuff that rocks.
