The Poetry Foundation has 2 job openings right now. Both jobs are full-time and both require relocation to Chicago if you don’t live there already:

1. An Archive Editor. This person, ideally, would be “a serious poet who can also write and edit prose.”

2. An Associate Editor. This person, ideally, would have more of a journalism background.

Weekly World News, the newspaper of record for the deranged, announced this week that it was folding on Aug. 3. Well that saddens me.

Oh well, I guess we can still go to their website.

Happy Birthday Bugs Bunny.
