It&#8217;s almost March&#8230; well, we&#8217;re poets over here &#38; we don&#8217;t necessarily subscribe to you&#8217;re &#8220;calendar.&#8221; We don&#8217;t feel a need to follow linear time in order to make meaning of our lives. We prefer chaos to order&#8230;

As with anything new, it hurts just a little the first time, but after that it can be fun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I wrote this post over at my personal blog, on my personal website winterspringsummer.com, and afterwards I thought to myself, &#8220;Hey, wouldn&#8217;t it be fun if other people got in on this action.&#8221;
So, here&#8217;s the idea.  Take something you love &#8212; and I mean LOVE &#8212; despite its questionable poetic or artistic value, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m always excited when I see poetry mentioned in some mainstream outlet where I&#8217;m not expecting it&#8230; so okay, maybe the NYT blog about books isn&#8217;t totally mainstream&#8230; but its pretty close&#8230; so check it out:  it&#8217;s a quick little article and pretty active comment stream about favorite poems for a broken heart.

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[recently, i&#8217;ve been overwhelmed with work (9-5 job work) to the point of having little to no time/energy to read or write poetry. add to that, nearly all of my recent submissions (scant as they may be, for same reason) have been returned with unsympathetic form rejections.  and there you have my reason for [...]]]></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[I have been weighed down lately by this feeling of disillusionment with the very tangential place of poetry in today&#8217;s world, not to say its futility. It seems very few arts can claim a more marginal status in today’s culture, or could matter less for that matter. And the whole endeavor is so close-circuited that [...]]]></description>
