Just got the new edition of Poets & Writers and am regretting a schedule that precludes reading it from cover to cover as usual. I did read two of the shorter articles tonight. One is an overview of the Cider Press/Stacey Lynn Brown events. The article presents more information from the point of view of the press, along with Brown’s points. Also, I read the profile of Paul Guest, a poet whose work I admire and whose blog I read fairly regularly. If you aren’t familiar with his work, check it out. I can’t wait to read the profile of Toni Morrison. Also of interest to me is Mike Chasar’s piece on being asked to write poems for the Iowa City Press-Citizen. Lots to look forward too.
Also in the mail: a copy of Carolyn Guinzio’s new book Quarry.
