May 23rd forum announcement

Dear Poetry Fans,

Poetry & Poets in Rags

Online poetry. We headline with what is already well-known, Frank Wilson's article that is all over the discussion boards, the blogs, and around the world where poetry people talk poetry, and where other people will be talking poetry now. This, on the week that David Biespiel, the editor of Poetry Northwest, comes out with his first batch of winners for April's IBPC contest. This, now, on the same week his article in The Oregonian arrives, which you'll find listed first in our Great Regulars section.

Congratulations to Stevie Reed of Blueline on taking first place, Sachi Nag of The Writer's Block on second, Allen Weber from Frugal Poet on third, and Jude Goodwin on snagging the HM spot for South Carolina Writer's Workshop.

I mentioned two articles so far. This week's P&P in Rags links you to 11 articles in News at Eleven, 10 Great Regulars, and 17 Poetic Obituaries. Poetry, poems, poets--all online.

Yours,
Rus
