Jon Paul Fiorentino in The Link

Concordia University's student newspaper, The Link, features an interview with Jon Paul Fiorentino about his new book of poetry, Indexical Elegies.

“Shh,” writes Jon Paul Fiorentino in Indexical Elegies, his new volume of poetry. “There are / poets trying to die.”

The quote comes near the beginning of the tome’s titular poem, and it neatly captures Fiorentino’s capacity to paint a sarcastic, almost self-deprecating smirk on top of a serious subject without giving over fully to either.
