OK, sorry for that cranky rant yesterday. I just get very irritated when poets, of all people, on the Poetry Foundation site, of all places, complain about how hard it is for them to read poetry. Grr.
So, on to happy news of some friends:
Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s poem “After Challenging Jennifer Lee to a Fight” will be featured today on Garrison Keillor’s Writer’s Almanac on NPR. You can read and listen to it here: http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/programs/2007/10/15/#thursday
Laurel Snyder’s new book is out! Say hi!
Mary Biddinger not only has organized poetry shelves but will become the Editor of the Akron Series in Poetry! Go congratulate her!
