Just One Thing with Dennison Ty Schultz

Felix Gonzalez-Torres' "Untitled (Water)" (1995), installed in the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art for the Queer Abstraction exhibition.

What better way to kick off the new year than with a contemplation of the universe’s infinite mysteries? Here Dennison Ty Schultz shares just one thing about their January issue poem “Scientists Released the First Picture of a Black Hole &”:

“Black holes were one of my first obsessions (along with Greek mythology and rock tumbling). I love them for being insatiable & for creating paradoxical possibilities & for knowing when to be mysterious, like any good poem should. I love them for granting a euphoric maximalism in my fangrling ekphrastic. Also, this is my second poem to mention bell peppers. I love them, even the green ones. They have such pizzazz!”
