		<description><![CDATA[(Cross posted from my own journal here)
I&#8217;ve been working on a series of poems for awhile now that are loosely based around Bible stories. Instead of standard retellings, though, I&#8217;ve been trying to give these versions a little twist &#8211; maybe from the perspective of a character who seems peripheral in the original story (such [...]]]></description>

It seems we&#8217;ve let it drift out of view for awhile, but it&#8217;s a good thing to have, so give it to us: Readings? Publications? New book coming out? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I write free verse all the time. When I try to write metrical poetry, I get a headache and an intense craving for a glass of wine. What I don’t get is a successful sonnet, or villanelle, or whatever. But that’s ok, I’m comfortable with my limitations. Having a best friend who is a formalist, [...]]]></description>

I’ve tried spending some time with 21 Stars Review, and though I’ve enjoyed some poems there, I mostly find the issues to be hit-or-miss – some poems hit me really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I’ve been reading a lot of online journals. It’s a faster, easier, cheaper way of seeing what’s being published in the poetry world. Standard print journals like Poetry and American Poetry Review are, of course, wonderful – but again, they’re expensive and slow to come (being published once every two months). I&#8217;m impatient. And [...]]]></description>

I was doing really well for the first four months &#8211; by the beginning of May, I&#8217;d read over 400 poems, from journals like Poetry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In January, my girlfriend Donna handed me a book by a guy called Patrick Rosal.  “You should read this guy,” she said.  “He’s really good.”  So I read this guy, and she was right – he’s really good.  He’s from New Jersey, which immediately endeared him to me, and his poetry [...]]]></description>

Tonight, though, I hit a different kind of wall.  I was outside playing with my [...]]]></description>
