December 18th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags

This week, we get to look at poets within the contexts of their poetry movements and political environments, and through people they've known. And we do this in countries around the world. To have these articles all come out in the same week yields a remarkable perspective, as these poets and their environments speak across the margins and borders.


Look for Christmas in our Great Regulars section from Garrison Keillor, The Guardian and Philadelphia Inquirer. Check out the articles by V Sundaram there too. Also, in that section, several poems of René Char are translated for us in The Brooklyn Rail. Their article on him is our News at Eleven headliner.

People important to poetry have died this week. Be sure to scroll through the Poetic Obituaries as well.


Thanks for coming by.

Yours,
Rus
