April 23rd forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags blog



We begin this week with a clutch of links to poems about and dedicated to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. Even last week, a day after the tragedy, we had one on our Back Page. They are still coming in. On this subject too, scroll down and check out the articles by Great Regulars Jeff Baker, David Biespiel, and E. Ethelbert Miller.

It's a week with a variety of topics. The second story in News at Eleven is about poet Liu Xia reminding the world, "I'm not free." This is followed by a clutch of links to poems at Indian Country in celebration of National Poetry Month. Our Back Page brings you to an item about Poetry in Unexpected Places, or PUP.

We link to dozens more poetry items and reviews this week. I'll let you get to your reading. Thanks for clicking in.

Yours,
Rus
