June 27th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Fans,

Poetry & Poets in Rags

We start from the other side of the sphere from here, in Burma, where not only writing, but publishing the wrong poem got two people 19-year prison terms, one a 14-year sentence, and another a 7-year term. We travel through many places, times, languages, poems, and thoughts on poetry from that flashpoint.

We have an addition to Great Regulars this week. It is the Hopkinton Crier's new Poem Prescription column. Such a column gets an automatic pass into Great Regulars, for bringing poetry into the world through a newspaper, what Poetry & Poets in Rags has always been about. Along these lines, here's a blog post you might be interested in: Getting a Poetry Column. How about it? Could you?

Yours,

Rus
