The allusions spark and spiral with iconoclastic power: ‘ . . . hope is the thing with feathers / that perches atop the combat vehicle.’ ‘Alexa, play Blessed Be Your Name.’ There is no collection more brilliantly suited to the times we’re living through. Bel Canto will rattle you like God rattles, like poetry rattles God.” — Diane Seuss, author of frank: sonnets, winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry “At times, one has to sit back, catch a breath, and prepare for the next moment of awe, the next shekinah brightness of revelation.” —John Davis Jr. “Bel Canto is is at once a hard night and a lullaby, a lovingly ironic joyride . . . poetic and willful mastery abounds throughout this powerful collection.” —Geoff Bouvier “Virginia Konchan is a poet willing to resurrect the sacred.” —Dylan Welch “[Her] lines offer universal wisdom.” —Sylee Gore Review, Harriet Books Review, On the Seawall Review, Southern Literary Review Review, Southern Humanities Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/9279db0a-d618-40b9-be1f-6e0ffb1203f1/Marbles+2.jpeg Books Marbles on the Floor: How to Assemble a Book of Poems was conceived from a poetic dialogue on how to shed light on the art and science behind the material construction of a poetry collection. This anthology of interconnected essays (craft, lyric, and critical) explores the art and technique of poetry manuscript assembly as articulated by poets in all stages of their careers. A timely, invaluable, and compact resource for creative writing teachers, as well as emerging and established poets honing their craft, writers in other genres (fiction and non-) will also benefit from this widely applicable yet nuanced discussion of how to bring a book into being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/4e9b1227-89e1-4c4a-82c0-5cd9b5fe5645/HT+cover.jpeg Books "Hallelujah Time, Virgina Konchan’s third full-length poetry collection—and the first to appear in Canada—delivers up poetry that is unlike anything being written today." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/7bf1111c-927e-4244-b26b-fffb30b6efef/Any+God+Will+Do+amazon+cover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579473683395-N2GCC5DONIF08KIMITBF/The+End+of+Spectacle+cover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579473673323-QU0P3BKZ6LZIH2GP60CT/Anatomical+Gift+cover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579473663719-EYHHHGT0ATIRV2GFLO9L/The+New+Alphabets+cover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579473481999-8K629AIRLCNUZWAAFYB2/Vox+Populi+cover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1606127680098-ZOHG4NI4Y2X86GKE0UBL/That+Tree+is+Mine+cover.jpg Books That Tree Is Mine furthers Konchan's work in the short meditative lyric, one that engages with a consideration of spiritual elements, the natural world, econ and eco-concerns. She moves from observation to abstract, shifting formal elements through earth, air, mashed potatoes and human progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579475429371-PAVJ1Z4WZCY82NMFPP64/Empire+of+Dirt.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/3df205c7-5b01-4314-b1de-aeed29d2f6e7/Requiem+official+cover.jpg https://www.virginiakonchan.com/vox-populi daily 0.75 2021-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579473918695-EPJI6GB0TAL3N3B7JO3K/Vox+Populi+cover.jpg Vox Populi https://www.virginiakonchan.com/empire-of-dirt daily 0.75 2021-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579475304009-1P6IN75S53CHQM02CDHF/Empire+of+Dirt.jpg Empire of Dirt https://www.virginiakonchan.com/about daily 0.75 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1625576017601-OGHRWO7PJFWTCNH13T7I/Virginia+Konchan+author+photo+1.jpg About https://www.virginiakonchan.com/anatomical-gift daily 0.75 2022-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579471577608-PKI0JAWF1FXXR8BDY8SN/The+End+of+Spectacle+cover.jpg Anatomical Gift https://www.virginiakonchan.com/the-end-of-spectacle-1 daily 0.75 2021-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579470944900-59TJG70HE22PLKJV5FNF/The+End+of+Spectacle+cover.jpg The End of Spectacle https://www.virginiakonchan.com/the-new-alphabet daily 0.75 2021-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579471428850-DI7RPFBOW8X7RBLUNPN6/The%2BNew%2BAlphabets%2Bcover.jpg The New Alphabet https://www.virginiakonchan.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-09-02 https://www.virginiakonchan.com/appearances daily 0.75 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1581044335631-RGK5W0BYVUNJQ1T5J04M/VK+reading+image.jpg Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/e6fe0b3f-c1c0-483c-9e6f-54d25d9aad77/VK+reading+Bel+Canto.jpg Appearances - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.virginiakonchan.com/any-god-will-do daily 0.75 2021-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579469901642-Y5NQAC7VDCH47CHH0SJK/Any+God+Will+Do+cover.jpg Any God Will Do https://www.virginiakonchan.com/editing daily 0.75 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/21c54c58-ac9e-4c21-bd04-f7fcaafeb3f0/VK+author+photo+2026+3.jpg https://www.virginiakonchan.com/that-tree-is-mine daily 0.75 2021-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1607437146497-0OJYU1IEV69UY78IIPAD/thattreeismine.jpg That Tree is Mine https://www.virginiakonchan.com/hallelujah-time-1 daily 0.75 2022-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/5a148fc3-80aa-4392-84f7-5578fc02fa2a/HT+cover.jpeg Hallelujah Time https://www.virginiakonchan.com/any-god-will-do-1 daily 0.75 2024-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579469901642-Y5NQAC7VDCH47CHH0SJK/Any+God+Will+Do+cover.jpg Marbles on the Floor https://www.virginiakonchan.com/any-god-will-do-1-1 daily 0.75 2024-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24ba8c28d64d4b980483cf/1579469901642-Y5NQAC7VDCH47CHH0SJK/Any+God+Will+Do+cover.jpg Bel Canto
