Dear Poetry Fans,

Poetry & Poets in Rags

This is quite the issue, one of those times I cannot believe the fine poetry articles that didn't make the cut. But it is National Poetry Month. Both The Washington Post and The Guardian have four articles in our three sections this week. Both of these newspapers are worth checking out for their poetry items that did not make the cut. And be sure to scroll all the way down to the very last link in Poetic Obituaries, where you'll find The Guardian's obit on Dame Muriel Spark. At the end of that article are other very good links on her.

My thanks to those I lifted news links from this week, namely Frank Wilson at his blog Books Inq. and Effie at The Town.

Also, I received news that the good forum and member of IBPC, Chiaro-Oscuro will formally close this Thursday night.

Yours,
Rus

Hi All,

I've set up a new Blog for Poetry & Poets in Rags, where individual items can be commented on. Also included are some of the links I use to find articles. Here's the link:

Rus--I was going to put this comment on your blog, but it's set up to accept comments only from 'team members'.

:-)

A terrific idea, Rus! I will bookmark this and put it on my blogroll.

Thanks for linking to me.

Much obliged!

Terrific. Thanks, Lisa & Chris.

Blogging has been slow to take to me, and vice versa. For some reason yesterday, it seemed a natural.

Someone told me something about podcasting at another forum, and I had to slow down again. I don't want to have vegetable beings from outer space proliferating on the web with those pods of theirs. (I seriously have no idea what a podcast is.)

Used in a sentence, 'blogroll' must mean the list of links, no?

Anyone else not have a cell phone, or is it just me now?

Yours,
Rus

Christine at poets.org told me I had the comment thing set up wrong. It should be fixed now, so comments are both welcome and possible.

Yours,
Rus
