Dear Poetry Aficionados,

IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags

Kay Ryan has been announced as the next US Poet Laureate. She is the subject, not only of our headliner, but the second story in News at Eleven as well, plus of three of our Great Regulars: Linda Sue Grimes, Bob Hoover, and PBS Newshour.

There is also a theme that runs through some of the articles this week, that of accessiblity. We see it in relation to Kay Ryan's poetry, and then the Self-Taught Poets of a few centuries back, then from screen actress Joanna Lumley, then war poet Edward Thomas. And that's not the last of that subject this week, but the first six articles in News at Eleven.

Thanks for clicking in.

Yours,
Rus
