September 25th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags

Girls on top. Congratulations to Laura Polley and Sarah Sloat, poets at Desert Moon Review's poetry board. Their poetry took first and second place in September's InterBoard Poetry Competition. Rounding out the top finishers is About Poetry Forum's Bill Brando. Honorable Mentions go to Bernard Henrie of The Writers Block, Rich Stewart of The Town, and Eric Linden of Mosaic Musings.



Thanks to esteemed poet Deborah Bogen for coming through once again for IBPC. She is a terrific reader, and her commentary is most definitely worth a click: IBPC: Latest Commentary.

In Poetry & Poets in Rags this week, it's boys on top, and Jack Kerouac leads the way. A couple wonderful articles, that complement each other are one-two. There will be more coming on him next week, as September 2007 and the 50th anniversary of the publication of "On the Road" comes to an end. It's been an extraordinary world-wide event, and I have been very please to be able to link to what will be oft-cited articles for our posterity to refer to, as they come to understand more fully how we got them to where they will find themselves.



Many more worthy articles and poems for your perusal. Be sure to scroll into Great Regulars. There is some fun stuff in there this week. One I couldn't help including is by John Timpane, on kissing. Another fun one is by David Kirby, who judged IBPC one year ago this coming three-month term. Upcoming for IBPC will be E. Ethelbert Miller for October through December. Check out his interview in Great Regulars as well.

Thanks for clicking in.

Yours,
Rus
