read write poem announcement

by Dana Guthrie Martin

I regret to announce that Read Write Poem will not be continuing. I have reassessed my commitments and priorities for the new year, and I have realized that I cannot continue to manage the project at this time. I am happy to pass the project along to anyone who is interested in managing it. Please send an e-mail to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org if you are interested in taking the project over.

Thank you to everyone for your participation.

ah, the question of too much poetry
March 17, 2010 | 11:37 am
“The new math of poetry is driven not by reader demand for great or even good poetry but by the demand of myriads of aspiring poets to experience the thrill of ‘publication.’ “

So says David Alpaugh (along with a lot of other thoughtful things) in “The New Math of Poetry,” published last month in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

it’s a wrap: last stop on our (virtual) tour of molly gaudry’s ‘anatomy for the artist’
March 15, 2010 | 3:28 pm
“I was physically drained by this poem. I understood it on my terms. If a poet’s innovative craftsmanship with form, word, sound, imagery, metaphor, can show me my own bones, then I want to read more of that poet’s work.”

Just a snippet from Wanda McCollar’s response to Molly Gaudry’s electronic chapbook, “Anatomy for the Artist.” Look for the entire post on Synecdochic Stuff and find the rest of our tour, below.

The first stop was Donna Vorreyer at her blog. Next up was Catherine Fitchett at Poetry Chook, Lawrence Gladeview at Righteous Rightings and Ren Powell at More Babel.

You can find complete information about this chapbook and tour here, including a link to where to find it and read it for yourself, online.

Next month’s tour will start mid-April. Don’t miss it!

I sit back, quite amazed by what I see –
Metrical verse still lives, how can that be?
