February 6th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags

Thanks for coming.

You may find yourself seeing double and quintuple this week. Indeed, Linda Sue Grimes appears in Great Regulars with five items. Garrison Keillor has two. WH Auden is covered in Great Regulars by James Fenton, and again in another Guardian article by Katherine Bucknell. In our Poetic Obituaries section, please note two excellent articles on Whitney Balliett. But also note that Molly Ivins, who also died, is covered in Poetic Obituaries--and also in Great Regulars at PBS NewsHour. That latter article is one of my favorites of the week. Be sure, be sure, to click for the video (which is also in script).

We headline, though, with big news from New Zealand, and travel around our small world of poetry from there. Again, thanks for coming.

Yours,
Rus
