I've added several blogs over on the left, most by way of Laurable dot com after a day spent exploring Equanimity, most by young (well, younger than me) poets living in cities, mostly New York and the Bay area. They have a curious flavor for someone like me, who's never lived in a major cultural center. There's a lot of gossip and something very much like flirting going on; there are readings and concerts and shows and stories about them and who was there and who couldn't make it; everyone is excited, reading each other's blogs and poems. Would I write more poems in such an environment? Southern Maryland, only an hour and a half from DC, seems hopelessly provincial.
