Hello Online Poets,

Frank Wilson, the Books Editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has posted a request that concerns you, in his blog. He's onto a story, and is looking for input.

Go here: Books Inq.: Okay, folks ....

Yours,
Rus

Hello Rus

As you will have seen, I along with a number of your on-line colleagues from Wild and elsewhere have dived in with our opinions and ideas. It is, I think, turning out to be a very meaningful discussion of Internet poetry and no doubt will provide a lot of good information for Mr. Wilson to put together a great article on the topic. Rus, thank you so much for bringing his request for feedback to our attention.

All my best

Hey Chris,

You're welcome.

Of course, I'm just in it for the headliner for Poetry & Poets in Rags. :o)

It's great to see all the input. It's great when the poets from all over can get together in a shared common purpose, strengthening the community we are.

Yours,
Rus

In tonight's Books Inq. blog post, "Online poetry link No. 2 ...," Frank Wilson shares some thoughts and ends by saying, "Well, that's where my head is so far. Comment away, folks."

Hi Rus

I do think Frank has been very gracious in surveying the Internet poetry landscape and providing links and comments, none of which he had to do. Bravo.

Many, many thanks to you, rus, for bringing all this to our attention. It has been exciting and educational to follow along with all the commentary thus far. And, of course, Wild getting noticed and promoted warms the very cockles of my heart. Just what are cockles anyway? *LOL*

You're the best, rus. Your support of Wild and your participation here are a very important part of the lifeblood. Bless you for your work and efforts.

Love,
M
