December 27th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

Poetry & Poets in Rags blog



We end the year and begin this week in News at Eleven with Brian Turner reflecting on the end of the U.S. warring and policing in Iraq, and calling for a dialogue in art.

In our second section, Great Regulars, one of Alison Flood's columns addresses the Rita Dove/Helen Vendler disagreement, calling it a "race row." Within that article, she has some very good links about the topic.

Among the poems this week, is a video in Great Regulars of Fiona Sampson reciting one of her own. This is part of a Guardian series called Close Up Poetry. If you click the link to Fiona's item, off to the right will be a link to all the videos in the series.

Have a happy, healthy, and safe rest of 2011. See you in 2012.

Thanks for clicking in.

Yours,
Rus
