Dear Poetry Fans, Poetry & Poets in Rags It is a week of taking sides, and a week of coming together. Sides are being taken around the world, as they have been for too long, causing poets to be imprisoned. In a story not easy to top, an online poet from America, our friend Luisetta Mudie, has translated an essay on love written by imprisoned Uyghur poet Nurmuhemmet Yasin. Sino-America polarity comes to us a few clicks later in another story, in another form, with another call for love. I leave all the other polarities for your discovery, except to mention to please scan down to our Back Page item. We have a showdown tonight at 9:00 Eastern on the web, an event you will not want to miss, Robert Pinsky & Julianna Baggott. An event you won't want to miss, unless you are fortunate enough to be in the Hay area. We are in the middle of a great coming together of poets and thinkers at The Guardian Hay Festival. Many of this week's articles are related. In fact, one of our Great Regulars, our good friend Sarah Crown, brings us three terrific items, two which will bring you front and center at poetry events there.

Hi Lisa, Thanks for the good note. I was just over to QuickMuse, and there's nothing about anything this Tuesday night. Yours, Rus |
