Great Regulars: Perhaps the finest poetry repository in Cyberia,

Rus Bowden's Poetry & Poets in Rags, singles out rob mclennan's stellar stint as our poet-in-residence during April. I won't say more except to add that Rus (that's him above) does all the work for his inclusive and exhaustive blog on his own time and his own dime.

~~~~~~~~~~~

A prose that wasn't led by narrative, though it might contain a narrative, but that responded to the associative movements of thought immediate to/with/in language. Immediacy was what it was about, the immediate phenomenality of being alive, responding to the astonishingly vast network of phenomena one was part of, & which, if looked at closely, were part of one's "self."

That said, I've moved, & still move back and forth between, the strictness of very short lines of poetry--taut, concise--to the accumulating rhythms of very long lines in long sentences. [--Daphne Marlatt]
