Where Freedom of Speech Rules

Happy National Poetry Month!

Happy Earth Day!

Thanks to Jennifer Semple Siegel there is a new blog/site/forum-to-be for Poetry Lovers, Friends of Librarians, Free Speech Mavens!

Poets.Net http://www.poets.net/

a poetics forum for the independent, open-minded, tolerant poet and writer who is not compromised by departmental, collegial or business entanglements--and proud of it.
Where freedom of speech still matters.

Welcome Bugzita!

I am happy to announce that the Team is growing! Bugzita of PostFoetrydot com fame (and a writer of many forms in many settings) has kindly agreed to contribute!

She has technical skills far beyond mine.
She brings geographical insights from Pennsylvania, Iowa, Macedonia & lands unnamed.
Bugzita, thank you!

Next week is school vacation for my son. Would that we were already reporting with the Pitchers and Catchers in Florida, Arizona and? Nevada(California?) but we have not yet been recruited or discovered. We will be spending some time in New Haven (Nutmeg State) and perhaps in Other Places.

Roger Clemens may or may not go to Heaven, but I agree with William Rhoden (in todays NYTimes, section C )that he deserves the same exact treatment given Barry Bonds and Marion Jones.

By Heaven, I mean no disrespect to the blog of Mairead Byrne., http://www.maireadbyrne.blogspot.com/

Horny Women at the Sewing Factory

Grace Paley must be appreciating this poem and the post which precedes it ( Fourteen Women in Search of a Poet)--by Jennifer Semple Siegel.
