Poetry News For April 20, 2008
Poetry News:
- — How to trivialise women’s poetry —
- — elitism is a laughable charge to levy against an art that doesn’t require tickets or a premium cable subscription —
- — The antipoem’s burlesque charm hits like a nightstick —
- — An interview with poet Mary Jo Salter —
- — And I may say, perhaps, I’m happier writing about doctors than I would have been being one —
- — If we could just do one or the other, we wouldn’t suffer such inner twists as bitter poems require, and there might not be so many nasty songs and poems —
Some favorite searches that lead people to this blog recently:
“I can’t stand Maya Angelou’s poetry”
“Sex Sex Sexton”
I find this rhetoric blog very entertaining.
