February 8th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags blog


It's Elizabeth Bishop's 100th birthday, and we have three links for the occasion to lead off News at Eleven. We follow this with a story making the rounds this week of erotica mixed in with an early 18th century best-selling volume of poetry, a story of porn selling poetry. Our News at Eleven section also has links to poetry by Bai Juyi, Meng Haoran, Eve Grubin, and Lory Bedikian. And this is a prelude to all the poetry you will find in our Great Regulars section as usual. Also in Great Regulars, Meghan O'Rourke discusses the latest findings on how women are not shattering any glass ceilngs in the male-dominated poetry world. Ange Mlinko has a very nice article on Robert Duncan and H.D. And Adam Kirsch looks at rap and poetry.

The above is a bit of the frosting on the cake. I'll leave the rest of the articles to your discovery.

Thanks for clicking in.

Yours,
Rus
