Dear Poetry Aficionados, Poetry & Poets in Rags We are all over the world again this week, beginning at The Hay Festival. The Guardian newspaper is providing what they call Haycasts from there. These are not to be missed. Their page of them is first click in our News at Eleven. It's as if they wish so much we were there, that they are taking us. Also, in Great Regulars, Sarah Crown is outdoing herself on her coverage of The Hay. I wrote to her to thank her, and let her know how I hope what they are providing for us results in many hits. That headline is so huge, I want to mention two articles that would normally headline for us in most any other week. One is an excellent review by John Freeman in The Philadelphia Inquirer on Natasha Trethewey Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Now I know I need to read it. When murderous criminals, worse than most mob bosses, are in charge of reading scripture, money gets anted up for random professionals and sickos to kill good people. A fatwa has been issued against poet Taslima Nasrin. Lots of great poetry and news on poets this week. Thanks for clicking in.
