Interview with Cyrus Cassells for Lambda Literary

An interview I conducted with the poet Cyrus Cassells is up on the Lambda Literary site. We discuss his new chapbook, More Than Watchmen at Daybreak, among other topics.

Cyrus won the 1981 National Poetry Series for his first book, The Mud Actor, as well as the 1997 Lambda Literary Award for his third book, Beautiful Signor. Since then, he’s published three more acclaimed volumes of poetry (More Than Peace and Cypresses, The Crossed-Out Swastika, and The Gospel According to Wild Indigo) as well as a book of translations from the Catalan of Francesc Parcerisas (Still Life with Children: Selected Poems). Now he’s published his first chapbook, More Than Watchmen at Daybreak, which was released by Nine Mile on April 6, 2020.

Thanks to Cyrus for chatting with me, and thanks to William Johnson and all at Lambda Literary for the necessary work they do.
