Even though I disagree with what he says, Jonathan's to be congratulated on getting the draft finished, and I wish him luck on the translations.

I've been meaning to highlight this statement from the inestimable Henry Gould:

The major poetry of most eras emphasizes clarity, simplicity, capaciousness : firm literary values upon which the poet can build those chordal layers of connotative meaning and feeling which are capable of moving an audience.

Henry was replying to a repeat run of Ron Silliman's trobar clus foolishness, but it seems to me to answer this and this from Jonathan Mayhew as well.

Via Poemanias, I've found this tribute site to Michael Donaghy, surely one of the best poets of the late 20th century in English. There's video, audio, and links to poems and transcripts of talks. I met Michael only briefly — at West Chester in 2001 — we played flute and mandolin on the steps of the student center; that night he gave one of the most incredible readings I've ever heard; occasionally he'd send an email about some absurdity or wonder in the poetry world. I'm grateful to Edgar for pointing out the site.

Via the most excellent Pharyngula, PhaWRONGula: a blog of satirical verse rooted in skepticism and developmental biology. Long may they sing!
