Interview for Yale University RadioI had the pleasure of being interviewed by Brainard Carey for the Museum of Non-Visible Art interview series, a project by Praxis and hosted by Yale University Radio.
Review in West BranchThe poet & critic Leslie Sainz reviews Valuing alongside other recent collections that “are striking in their service to language over ego. Wolfson, Hezekiah, Zamora, and Kondrich are more interested in kneeling before their muses than standing on the proverbial soapbox and asking reputation and status to do the heavy lifting.”
Kenyon Review Reading RecommendationsThe poet and writer Molly McCully Brown recommends Valuing for The Kenyon Review’s year-end reading list. To purchase a copy of Valuing, please order through their Bookshop page.
The Believer Book AwardValuing has been chosen as a finalist the The Believer Book Award in Poetry, selected by the editorial staff. In the citation, they write: “In his elegant and meditative poems, Kondrich reflects on how we assign value, how we evaluate what is worthy, useful, and necessary.”
On Books & Their HarborsFor The Kenyon Review series, I’ve contributed a brief essay about Valuing and the community spaces that supported its creation.
Review in AGNIIn her review of Valuing for AGNI Online, the poet Hannah VanderHart writes, “These are metaphysical poems in the Renaissance sense (think of the linguistic play of John Donne), but also in the Jorie Graham sense, where to attend to an external, physical wind is to attend also to an internal, intellectual wind, a thinking spirit.”
KR ConversationsIn an interview for The Kenyon Review, I discuss my poem “Ownership of Time” (included in the Of Today folio, edited by Solmaz Sharif): “I wanted to evoke the corrosiveness of political fanaticism as a kind of capitalistic force, but I was also considering how the time one spends on this earth is actually defined and modified by how other people spend their time.”
Best Poetry 2019The editors of Library Journal name Valuing as one of the ten best books of poetry published in 2019.
Los Angeles Review of BooksThe poet John James and I interview one another about our books, The Milk Hours and Valuing, respectively, for the Los Angeles Review of Books.
WNYC's All of ItIn an interview with WNYC’s All of It, Tracy K. Smith mentions my work as deserving a wider attention.
Prairie Lights InterviewPrior to a reading at Prairie Lights Bookstore in Iowa City, I spoke with poet and artist Lauren Haldeman for the Writing University about the central themes of Valuing and giving readings from the collection.
10 Questions Contributor InterviewFor The Massachusetts Review, I answer questions about my poem “Ownership of Sight” and about the writing process.
