October 26th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags blog


Here are some of the crimes that governments and politicians are committing against poets and their freedom of expression this week. Nay Phone Latt is imprisoned and not receiving the medical treatment he needs. Faqir Mohammad Baloch was shot dead. Jangtsae Donkho and Buddha are going to trial after being imprisoned for four months. And, as of today, Aung San Suu Kyi has been detained for 15 years. This while Zakariya Amataya is free amid the threat of violence around him.

We also have reviews of fine poetry in News at Eleven, some great articles and terrific poetry in Great Regulars, and some important people to poetry in our Poetic Obituaries section.

Thanks for clicking in.


Yours,
Rus
