Dear Poetry Fans, Poetry & Poets in Rags You'll find two poems by IBPCommunity laureate JB Mulligan in our Great Regulars section this week. I workshop and converse with him on one of the private boards now, but knew him, his fine insights and poetry, from sharing Poets.org for a couple years, and then The Atlantic's Writers Workshop. You'll find his poems in Cafe Oleh's column in The Jersusalem Post. There's this odd theme that arose in several of the articles in News at Eleven. It has to do with either dying or cancellation and then coming back to life, something I've experienced. It's in our headliner, and our Back Page stories this week, for instance, but you'll notice it elsewhere too. We have an addition to our Great Regulars section and a cancellation. Edmonton Journal enters with "The Poetry Project" as The Monroe Times's "Poets Corner" exits. Also, the Poetry & Poets in Rags Blogspot is up and now (correctly) set to accept comments. So if you read an article, and would like to see how the conversation is going, or have something to say, please come by. It should become a center where inter-forum poets can exchange thoughts, but also where writers and others from the news world and elsewhere will come and join the mix as well. It's all good.

At the end of our back page article this week from Radio Free Asia, notice the credit, "Translated and written for the Web in English by Luisetta Mudie." Radio Free Asia: China Closes, Reopens Shandong-Based Poetry Forum Poetry & Poets in Rags: News at Eleven (The Back Page): We got an order from higher up "Aha," some of you say. Yes, that's the same Luisetta who used to post her good poetry at the Atlantic Monthly Online. Yours, Rus |
