Colorado Poets Center E-Words Issue #5

Joining the Poetry Foundation for Free

Writers and poets who haven’t seen what’s available in the Poetry Foundation’s free weekly e-mail newsletter might want to take a look. I find it refreshing to get some opinions and information about writers I might not have thought of on my own.

Archived on the right side of the homepage are past articles, including an interview with Albert Goldbarth, profile of new U. S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan, a new Children’s Poet Laureate Mary Ann Hoberman, Philip Whalen, and the like. Reviews range from Shel Silverstein to Davis McComb’s Dismal Rock to Richard Kenney or Cate Marvin as well as pieces on a reissued anthology of late T’ang dynasty poetry and the latest biography of Keats.
