Jake Adam York and Harry Rutherford have moved, and a dozen or so blogs and other sites are gone because they'd been dark for 3 months or just were no longer to be found. The only one I felt weird removing was Robin Kemp's NoLaPoet—even though I know she's OK, and hasn't lived in New Orleans for a while. One or two places are just gone because. I don't have it in me to add new blogs tonight.

I have read very little poetry from either Mary Kinzie or Alice Fulton, and the essays I've spent so much time on the last few days are about 20 years old. Kinzie has recently expanded her work and presumably did so because she still finds its argument useful and relevant, but I have no idea whether Fulton feels the same about hers. She's only a year older than I: there's not much I wrote in the mid-80s I'd care to be judged by now.

My link list is badly out of date—too many dark blogs and none of the new ones I've discovered in the last few months. This afternoon after work, if the creek don't rise, I'll fix that.

Next up from Turco's Book of Forms is Anglo-Saxon Prosody (link is to the current edition—I'm using the original tiny red paperback). I don't think I've ever written accentual verse, at least not deliberately. Some of my early pentameter was probably non-alliterative stress verse, and some of it was surely syllabic. Meter's harder than a few weeks in a CW workshop can begin to suggest.

I bought about 20 books at West Chester. So far I've only written about one of them. More to come, and soon.

He doesn't need me and most of the poetry blogosphere seems to consider him a bogeyman nearly on a level with Billy Collins, but I haven't forgotten I promised I'd write about more of Dana Gioia's poems. And Collins is actually pretty damned good as well.
Blogged from webmail.
