Dear Poetry Fans,
Poetry & Poets in Rags
This is quite the issue, one of those times I cannot believe the fine poetry articles that didn't make the cut. But it is National Poetry Month. Both The Washington Post and The Guardian have four articles in our three sections this week. Both of these newspapers are worth checking out for their poetry items that did not make the cut. And be sure to scroll all the way down to the very last link in Poetic Obituaries, where you'll find The Guardian's obit on Dame Muriel Spark. At the end of that article are other very good links on her.
My thanks to those I lifted news links from this week, namely Frank Wilson at his blog Books Inq. and Effie at The Town.
Also, I received news that the good forum and member of IBPC, Chiaro-Oscuro will formally close this Thursday night.
Yours,
Rus

Hi Rus
Nice to see this blog on the poetry scene up and running. It should get a lot of attention and be of much use to the poetry community. Good luck to you.
All my best
Chris
Hi Chris,
Great to see you stopping in. Thanks very much.
Another poet, Peter Garner, at a forum said this: Now all you need is a podcast and you're well and truly into the 21st century.
But this finally clicked for me, that it is a natural for what I do. For some reason, I could not fathom blogging before.
Thanks very much for your moral support. You have a web site, an NP Writer's site, I didn't know about: Christopher T. George: An online poetry selection. I'll get the link up. And I see there you have a link to Janet Kenny's too. Great stuff.
Thanks again.
Rus
Thanks for this, Rus.
It should be a lively blog!
Hi Carl,
You're welcome. It's comments like yours that keep it going.
