Dear Poetry Buffs,
Poetry & Poets in Rags
We span the globe, we travel time, and cover sundry topics this week. Our headliner comes from Tunis by way of translation into English through Washington DC. And IBPC laureate CE Chaffin makes the list with a world-class poetry book review for the Philadephia Inquirer.
And guess who's turning 800?
What did jasmine mean to Emily Dickinson?
What was Phoebe L. Guarnaccia doing on Route 1A?
Were the targets of Qabbani's poetry really the Sultans of Nejd?
What did Emma Hardy really die from?
Should the 'Aeneid' have been burned and, if so, why?
It's that kind of week in News at Eleven.
But, again, our headliner:
Why would the poets, writers, and artists have to die that way?
Why would they have to be punished like that?
Or should I use the first person: Why would we?
Yours,
Rus

Hi Rus,
As usual, lots of great links to read this week. I'd already seen the NYT article on Helen Vendler (which I loved) but most of the rest were new to me. C. E. Chaffin's review was enjoyable; the Crusoe poem you pointed out from Garrison Keillor's site was a good read. I'm going back to read some more!
