I've added yet more links: In POETRY SITES, UBUWEB::MP3 ARCHIVE, a large and varied collection of recorded poetry, and in BLOGS ON POETRY, flingdump scattershot, Home-Schooled By a Cackling Jackal, Kutibeng, and A Private Studio. I really do try to visit everything over there on the left at least once a day. RSS would sure make life easier.

I've added two poems from Gerard Van der Leun to Poems from Readers. That site is not an ezine, and I am not a poetry editor. But if you want other people who read this blog to see what you're doing, feel free to send me poems. I will not edit: I copy and paste. If you've got a blog, I'll link it. If you're interested in sending poems out for publication, you should be aware that some markets consider something like this to be publication and will not accept poems which have appeared this way.

Other than Steven Rose and Richard Lewontin, who never forgave him for not being Marxist, I doubt anyone who had read Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate could feel comfortable calling him a "cultural conservative"—an aesthetic conservative, perhaps, but he freely admits aesthetics is not in his purview. But I, too, want to avoid a "'Mike-Josh' debate," partly because it's extremely unlikely either of us have the time to read or reread all the pertinent things the other has read. I find Cahiers de Corey always interesting and provocative, as I hope Josh does this blog, and no doubt we will from time to time note our agreements and disagreements, and even answer each other. But Josh is right: this is an open conversation.

Trying to count the holes in ceiling tiles
Lit only by the bar's red flashing lights
And losing count, wondering why my trial's
Trying to count the holes in ceiling tiles.
Past 50, in a bed 300 miles
From home 11 out of 14 nights,
Trying to count the holes in ceiling tiles
Lit only by the bar's red flashing lights.
I'm just not home enough to piss her off,
Or else she misses me like I do her.
The guys I work with think it's fun to scoff
"You're just not home enough to piss her off,"
But I'm the one she watches while we doff
Our clothes, whichever answer you prefer:
I'm just not home enough to piss her off,
Or else she misses me like I do her.
