Dear Poetry Fans, Poetry & Poets in Rags This week, we delve into poetry with respect to culture. We have discussions on the economics of it, the places of it, the adequacy, limitations and functions of it, the languages and fusions of it, and much more. This world-wide inquiry that is taking place, takes us into Yemen, South Africa, Canada, USA, England, Ireland, Wales, Turkey, and more. We also run a gamut of different types of poetry, from 19th century poetry, to modern-day chanting in rituals, to slam poetry, to Frank Wilson, editor of a main stream paper, doing a review of speculative poetry. And this does not include our sampling of the terrific new poetry through Great Regulars, the ink still wet on the poets' copies. Here's a cultural application. For those of you in the USA: Happy Thanksgiving. Our Great Regulars, Linda Sue Grimes and Robert Pinsky are celebrating with poetry already. Both chose Massachusetts poets, one born close by here, and another from right here in Lowell. I love that. Thank you for clicking in.

Rus, Thankful for the weekly resource you provide. I have been too too busy and I didn't get a chance to e-mail you about this article, which you were probably aware of already, but which perhaps couldn't be included in the final. So, I'll include the Link: http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-11-13-prelutsky_x.htm Rus, A Blessed Thanksgiving to you & yours,  Michael (MV) |
