Blogging at Poets & Writers

My first post as the inaugural Writer-In-Residence for Poets & Writers' new blog is up now! You can read it at this link. The blog was supposed to begin earlier this month, but there were some glitches, so my four week stand continues into May.

There's only 10 days left to enter The Big Poetry Giveaway here at Modern Confessional. If you haven't left a comment on The Big Giveaway post, visit this link. Kelli Russell-Agodon has a full (and final) list of the 63 bloggers participating this year at her Book of Kells blog.

If you haven't read Charles Jensen's response to Mark Doty's comments on "academic" poets, visit his Kinemapoetics blog now. Charlie sums up so many of my feelings on poets working outside the university system, who aren't aware of the "academy and "po-biz" scene -- or just don't care.
