Rebecca Hazelton: "We'll Fix It In Post"
This week we’re delighted to feature a new poem by Rebecca Hazelton. Hazelton is the author of Fair Copy (Ohio State University Press, 2012), winner of the 2011 Ohio State University Press / The Journal Award in Poetry, and Vow, from Cleveland State University Press. She was the 2010-11 Jay C. and Ruth Halls Poetry Fellow at the University of Wisconsin, Madison Creative Writing Institute and winner of the “Discovery” / Boston Review 2012 Poetry Contest. Her poems have appeared in Poetry, AGNI, Smartish Pace, and Best American Poetry 2013.
Author’s note:
“We’ll fix it in post” is a phrase used in filmmaking to excuse an error an editor will have to deal with in post-production. It suggests a certain sloppiness on the part of the filmmaker. I like this phrase as applied to things that aren’t easily fixable, like life-threatening illness, marital infidelity, and big cats.
