June 21st forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags blog


We are all over the world for a poetry star-studded week in our News at Eleven section. Here are those names, in order of appearance: Aung San Suu Kyi, Carlos Reyes-Manzo, Yehoshua November, Constantine P. Cavafy, Sorley MacLean, Robert Pinsky, William Butler and George Yeats, Tomas Tranströmer, Mun Dok-su, Christian Wiman, and on our Back Page, Peter Millhouse. It's also a huge week in our Great Regulars section, more great articles and poems than usual. And you'll want to take a scroll though Poetic Obituaries.


Congratulations are in order to the winners of May's InterBoard Poetry Community competition, many thanks to our Spring 2011 judge Judith Fitzgerald. Here are the winning poems:

First Place: Ophelia Speaks by Laurie Byro of the poetry board Desert Moon Review

Yours,
Rus
