More links if I get a chance, which means probably not.

But come anyway!

In which we get to the point

Shanna Compton has a very good essay up at PoetryFoundation.org.

The severalth annual Celebration of NJ Journals is coming up soon.

The talented and generous Maria Gillan has a new book out.

The next season of Spoken Word Series will be announced next Friday. Smaller? Yes. More power per unit poet? Geeky, but guaranteed.

This weekend is Mother's Day. Go here for ideas, but skip the Plath.

Back to regularity soon.
