Opinion/Singer: Living with contradiction, and danger
Sean Singer
This month, poet Sean Singer guest-writes for my column space and discusses how driving a taxi in New York City gave rise to reflection on danger, contradiction, and the possibility of violence in daily life. With his prose poem, Antivenom, Singer shows us how poetry and metaphor are ways to explore these tensions and, ultimately, how poems can help us to understand our own experiences. His book, Today in the Taxi, is a collection in which juxtaposition both jolts and reveals.

Contradiction is a part of being alive: we exist among things that are at odds with one another. Poets deal with contradiction. We use metaphor to show hidden or surprising connections among things. Poems make spaces to help us work with the things we can’t say or don’t understand.

It s a continuity, a perpetual improvisation, a negotiation between what we know and what we don
