Poetry News For January 4, 2008
Poetry News:
- — The most important American love poet in living memory, and certainly one of the most important American poets —
- — Vet Post Honors PTSD Victim, a Suicide [his poems are here] —
- — Sylvia Plath’s art of the visual —
- — New York poet and Toledo’s Zin String Quartet to perform multimedia tribute to geniuses —
- — “PoesÃa diaria” rinde honor a desaparecidos en Argentina [English translation at this link]—
- — Jean Sprackland, of Southport, took the title in the poetry category of the Costa Book awards, formerly known as the Whitbread Prize —
So what online archive can I pillage for poetry news now? I already did the free NYT and Time Magazine archives. What I learned from those articles:
a. the public has never supported poetry
b. poets have never made any $ from poetry
c. women poets have always been marginalized but at least some aren’t called “spinsters” anymore
d. poetry has never sold
hahaha
