Great Regulars: Thus, on this sparkle-flowin' firework-glowin' day,

it brings us great pleasure and joy to report that, on Canada Day, beloved playwright, editor, translator and versifyin' novelist William Stanley (W. S.) Merwin (b. 1929 in NYC) will follow in the footsteps of striding giants the calibre of Allen Tate, Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, WCW, Maxine Kumin, Robert Penn Warren, Louise Glück, Charles Simic and Kay Ryan to take up the position of US Poet Laureate Consultant (2010-11) commencing Oct. 25 with a gala reading to kick off the Library of Congress's annual literary series.

It's a byootiful Canada Day in the Blabber . . . er . . . BloggerHood.

Right off the top, it brings us quidditious pride and pleasuredom to get down to class facts root-a-toot-tooting our horn of dartlin' doozie delights announcing the publication of Dusie 10, a distinctively distinguished Switzerland-based online journal/e-book of discriminating standards and fundamentally sound production values, bien sûr (xspecially when it comes to consistently stellar entries of the first magnitude bedazzle-dancin' around artists Adrian Göllner's plus Danny Hussey's lovingly executed complementary visual contributions).
