Forty-Seven Minutes
Forty-Seven Minutes Years later I’m standing before a roomful of young writers in a high school in Texas. I’ve asked them to locate an image in a poem we’d just read—their heads at this moment are bowed to the page. After some back & forth about the grass & a styrofoam cup, a girl raises…

Reading at Earshot Tomorrow & New POP & More Sows & Tacocat!

So Many Updates – POP, SOW, Readings, Reviews
Since we’ve last talked not only has there been one new POP, but rather there has been two. Anne Boyer talks Bo Diddley here and Carina Finn talks the wild heart here. If you haven’t done so already give them a read. Also, as always, lots of SOWs, featuring a short residency from Futurepoem with…

New Poets off Poetry & Song of the Week Forever & Yoga Sleuth & Musical Refuge
Negligent as ever with my updates, two Poets off Poetry have come and gone without me saying a word. In November, Andy Mister’s “Furniture Music, or a Kind of Boredom,” and just last week JeFF Stumpo’s “16th Century France by Way of Chicago: Howlin’ Wolf, the Blues, and Villanelles.” Every once in a while (in my…
