March 2nd forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags blog


This week we hear from the poets in News at Eleven, interviews with Mark Doty and David Baker starting things off. Louise Glück and Stanley Plumly both talk about Keats, among other things. But poet Liao Yiwu has been kept from speaking. And S.A. Griffin has poets speaking through a bomb. As always, you'll find plenty of links to fresh poems in our Great Regulars section.

The results fo February's InterBoard Poetry Community competition are in. Winter 2010 judges Joseph Millar and Dorianne Laux have selected the following winning poems, with their commentary (and congrats to the poets!):

1st place: What by Jude Goodwin of The Waters
2nd place: A Question of Nakedness by Melanie Firth of Wild Poetry Forum
3rd place: Absence of Detail by Debbie Calverley of criticalpoet.org
HM: Ars Poetica #7 by Tim Blighton of Desert Moon Review
HM: O be Joyful by Judy Swann of The Waters
HM: Triolet on a Line by Billy Collins by Antonia Clark of The Waters

Thanks for clicking in.

Yours,
Rus
