Some notes from the blogosphere:
Henry Gould has been wonderful the last couple of weeks, posting old poems, talking about his practice, and generally being sensible and exciting--an unusual combination.
Ron Silliman has blogged about poetry blogs, and mentioned mine--seems I'm the only New Formalist blogger around. Can that be true? And am I really a New Formalist? I did go to Westchester once, and 30 years ago I travelled with Fred Turner--but we were in the Canadian poet Robert Allen's car, and anyway Fred was writing free verse in those days. So was I, and so I still occasionally do. Anyway, he's provided an annotated lists of poetry blogs which I am anxious to check out.
At 2blowhards Michael has posted a survival guide to art chats with some advice about the canon that poeple at New Poetry should be reading. So should you!
