March 31st forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags


A beautiful travelogue on Basho is where we begin. Our next step is to the end of verse. This leads us on through poetry by Mary Jo Bang, Christopher James, Paulann Petersen, and one you wouldn't want to miss by Ellen Bass, and another by Lawrence Raab, among others. And tonight, these straw-and-cotton sandals will take us into April, National Poetry Month, about which we have a couple articles as well.

But before we get to April, the results for the InterBoard Poetry Community's March competition are in. Three poems were selected by Elena Karina Byrne, who completes a wonderful winter season of judging. (Thank you, Elena.) Congratulations to the poets and the forums with the winning poems. In first place is "I, Raptor" by Brenda Levy Tate of Pen Shells; in second "deliquesce" by Lynze of Salt Dreams, and in third place, Susan B. McDonough's poem "Double Vision" workshopped at Blueline Poetry Forum.

Thanks for coming by. I am glad your voyage brought you here.

Yours,
Rus
