February 9th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags


One of our Great Regulars, London poet John Rety, has died. He has been the poetry editor for Morning Star, bringing weekly poetry to the world. You will find his latest column under his name, instead of under Morning Star, a change I have been meaning to make for months. His obituary is in our Poetic Obituaries section.

In the week for love, we begin our News at Eleven section with war and strife, because that is what has been published. The first four articles, however, are remarkable in their subject matters. We get a taste of love in our sixth item, a look at some Robert Browning love poetry, but they sure aren't Valentine's Day poems. We do have some, in Great Regulars, and all sorts of poetry, and examination of all sorts of poetry, in both News at Eleven and Great Regulars. I'll let you get to reading.

An excellent week. Thanks for clicking in.

Yours,
Rus
