Dear Poetry Fans,
Poetry & Poets in Rags
We begin this week with poems. And we travel fearlessly around the world though translations, and through our countries in News at Eleven. In this sense, we participate in a celebration of poetry like the world has never witnessed before, in our times, and through the web. Yet, the first poem of our first article begins, "Why is this age worse than all the others?"--reminding us that the entire world is not yet open to poets and poetry. Indeed, via Norway, we get word from Burma, that two poets must remain in jail for what they wrote, for 26 years.
Wiith no segue again this week (only better spelling) we welcome John Timpane to our Great Regulars.
Yours,
Rus
