Dear Poetry Aficionados, Poetry & Poets in Rags Around the world there is bigotry, bombs are going off, shots are being fired, arrests are being made, and our poets are in the middle of this fray, making the news, including Poetic Obituaries. News at Eleven begins and ends with attempts at harmony. But, you'll also find the turmoil, and what poets want for the world. As ever, we also look at what poets want for poetry. We get multiple columns from Great Regulars: Linda Sue Grimes, Luisetta Mudie, Christopher Nield (who's back), and Robert Pinsky. And among the poems from Great Regulars, The New Yorker gives us three by Charles Wright. Thanks for clicking in.

Hi Rus "Around the world there is bigotry, bombs are going off, shots are being fired, arrests are being made, and our poets are in the middle of this fray, making the news, including Poetic Obituaries." What a terrible indictment of the world we live in! Lord save us! But once again I thank you for the enlightenment that your round-up offers. Keep up the good work, Rus.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the good note. Maybe next time, I'll say, "Around the world, there is compassion, body's are being healed, cures are being found, people have new hope, and our poets are in the middle . . ." Yours, Rus |
