Dear Poetry Aficionados,
Poetry & Poets in Rags
Might we "build up a gallery of visual inspirations" for Philip Larkins' poetry? That's the question our headliner supposes, how much did he write ekphrasically. And what is the greatest unread poem in the English language? That question is taken up in our third article. Why did Isaac Rosenberg "voluntarily return from the Cape Town sun to the mud and blood of the trenches?" Article #5 asks this question. And why do the British disparage prose poems? That's a question in the 7th article of the eleven in News at Eleven.
The results are in for April for the InterBoard Poetry Community's monthly poetry contest, thanks to esteemed judge Patricia Smith. Congratulations go to the poets and their online workshops: Sergio Lima Facchini and Poets.org for his first place poem "A Second Look at Creation"; Brenda Levy Tate and Criticalpoet.com for her poem "Spring Dance" which took second; and, for their tie at third, Mike LaForge also of Criticalpoet.com for his poem "Boy, Winter 2008" and Cherryl E. Garner and South Carolina Writers Workshop for her poem "18--Again".
Thanks for clicking in.
Yours,
Rus
