Hey You
This is a painting (by Lisa Michitti). Because it is a painting and not a poem no one argues with it and says it is not a poem. Also, it costs a lot more than any poetry book. And it’s … Continue reading

Scanning Ron’s headlines today, I got a kick out of this and this seemed important (for visual poets). Ellen Baxt has a new book coming out that looks exciting (interested as I am in travel, language, autobiography, and pretty cover … Continue reading

poetry marketing genius
Via Reb, this season’s hot new poetry magazine: The Concher. What’s so special about it besides the line-up? It comes with rich, handmade truffles. Poetry and chocolate! Poetry AND chocolate! Brilliant.

this palimpsest
It’s just– so– beautiful. And it’s illuminated– literally– it glows.
Best response so far to the Lynne Cheney report: I’m sad my ‘Women and Domestic Space’ ENLT didn’t make the cut. She probably got excited and thought it was a Home Ec class.

More VT & my own soapbox
As for the many culprits behind the VA Tech shooting, I tend to agree most with this one. School “disciplinary systems” are a joke. While an undergraduate, A. was tried and convicted at the student court at Northwestern for abusing … Continue reading

poems for Frank
Wow. (Guess I’ve been a bit out of the loop lately.)
NaPoWriMo
This is so poetic I can hardly stand it. (And as a poet its practical use is much less interesting to me than its intended use and description and the fact that it’s in the newspaper at all.)

Buffalo-specific
Ben’s recent pictures from Buffalo remind me to say that Organic Furniture Cellar is available at Rust Belt Books. And if you see Kristianne remind her to send me poetry for 4SQ. Thanks.
"logic"
Oh yeah, it’s the ban on concealed weapons that’s responsible for the VATech shootings. Because it’s ultimately the failing of those who didn’t carry guns that one gun-toting madman massacred 30 people. Now it all makes sense.
Local
As your small-town VA reporter (on assignment in Birmingham), I feel like I should have something to say about the VA Tech shootings. But I am not really yet “of” Virginia. Thus I refer you to my friend Ginny’s post.
Go go Ornette Coleman! (Can we get the Pulitzer judges for music to judge poetry?)
Thinking of Joyce last night, which inevitably led to thinking about Zukofsky, made me wonder (again) why I’m not working on either of those authors for my dissertation. Of course, I haven’t started my diss., so I could still work … Continue reading
