I remember seeing slash here and there, but I suppose the Supernatural community was my first encounter with a group of people building a mythos outside of a show, parallel to a show.
But do you remember if it was the first fan fic you ever read? And the timing between that show’s premiere and the release of Crush is something you’ve written about at some length. Supernatural was the first show whose fan fic I ever discovered. We spent the next three weeks trading emails. I invited Siken to talk about all of this, and also the new book. Siken has gotten into it, too, recently creating his own Tumblr and Sherlock slash. More recently, Siken has become prominent in Sherlock fandom in a similar way: two men, mysteries, fucking. The result has been a lot of slash fiction - and other fan works - that appropriate Siken’s poetry, particularly as Tumblr has become the center of fandom, and fandom has become the center of Tumblr.
In April, the poet Richard Siken released his second book, War of the Foxes - ten years after Crush, his award-winning debut, which Louise Glück wrote restored “to poetry that sense of crucial moment and crucial utterance which may indeed be the great genius of the form.”īut many fans of the television show Supernatural, which tells the story of the tempestuous relationship between two demon-fighting brothers, thought that Crush was about their favorite characters fucking.
