Poetry & Poets in Rags
A new member board enters IBPC this week. Welcome:
The Waters!
Where are the Sri Lankan children? This is where we begin this week. And where are the Chinese writers? This is our second link.
Poet E. Ethelbert Miller asks poet Kalamu ya Salaam, "How do you feel about the United States not accepting assistance from Cuba after Hurricane Katrina?" This is our fourth article. Will Donald Hall accept a second term as Poet Laureate? That's seven. How about living in Jack Kerouac's birthplace, w/d hookup, right down the street here for $1,100 per month? That's our Back Page link this week. And I'll leave Great Regulars and the Poetic Obituaries to your discovery.
Thanks for clicking in.
Yours,
Rus

Still cannot understand why there isn't a throng of Kerouac fans knocking on the door down the street. Wouldn't that make a great pad for a few english majors at UMASS?
Hi Micky,
I'm with you, neighbor poet. (And to let readers know, Micky and I could make it to Kerouac's birthplace in less than a minute on foot from where we each are.)
I was e-mailing with Kathleen Pierce who wrote the article about my wonderment that some investor--with all the money people pay for guitars and letters of famous people--that someone wouldn't have bought the place long ago for big bucks. She says that "since that article came out a group of interested parties have emerged expressing interest in buying 9 Lupine for a writers' retreat."
We shall see. It would be great to see something very good happen to that place.
Yours,
Rus
