Music tonight and tomorrow night. Briefs again, and not many of 'em.

Greg Perry tried to be charitable, but now it's clear that Jonathan Mayhew is not pulling anyone's leg, and he's been joined by Kasey Mohammad in not doing that.
-
Two good posts from Henry Gould, here and here. Or just go to HGPoetics and browse around. It's worth the time.

I almost missed this fine post from George Wallace on married love and Richard Wilbur. Not necessarily in that order.

Three trades and two orders for 44 Sonnets. Woohoo!
Late Update — gig canceled:
This is the big lie. Poetry does not require the intervention of critics, and you can't have it both ways. You can't claim that Shelley is just as incomprehensible as Andrews's drivel and at the same time claim that if only that carpenter who enjoys Shelley had read L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E theory she'd enjoy Andrews, too. I'll guarantee she never read M. H. Abrams or Harold Bloom. A poet speaks to his or her chosen audience; a great poet, through work and spirit and talent, creates an audience. Now we see who believes in gatekeepers.
