“A Fairfield University English professor, poet and editor of the online poetry journal Mezzo Cammin, Bridgford has seen how women writers, specifically women poets, often don’t get the recognition given to their male counterparts.” (Read the quoted article here.)
Thank you, Kim Bridgford for The Cammin Women Poets Timeline Project at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington. The project launches today at an event that “will serve as both a celebration of women’s accomplishments and as a fundraiser for the timeline and will feature poets Rhina Espaillat, Annie Finch, Marilyn Nelson, Alicia Ostriker, Molly Peacock, and Terri Witek. The featured visual artist is Alice Mizrachi.”
Dave Bonta has posted the latest in his “blogs and blogging” series. This time it is about readability.
If you haven’t read the others in the series, it is worth going back. Of course, his site is easy to navigate, so doing that is easy-peasy.
Our own Donna Vorreyer is in the news. Go read the article about her and her soon-to-be-released chapbook.
Dana Guthrie Martin created FaBoStaMe last year as a launch for all the other great activities associated with National Poetry Month.
Here is the definition of the project, in a nutshell: “Why do in 30 days what you can do in 30 minutes — and in front of other people no less. FaBoStaMe is a poetry-writing challenge in which participants write one poem every minute for 30 consecutive minutes, posting the poems as their status messages.”
