MAPOFEST 2013
Somewhat appropriately (or ominously), the venue for this year's MaPoFest is Salem, MA, notorious for its history of dunking any citizens suspected of being...different. What better place for a bunch of poets to gather? Lots of great readings, workshops and music will be going on, including the Boston Typewriter Orchestra (going to that!) I'm taking part … Continue reading MAPOFEST 2013

Bells We Would Ring: Kenneth Patchen
On Solstice eve I was searching around for a poem to write about for my Hilltown Families column, and feeling really stymied by the challenge of finding something seasonal and uplifting and bright in the wake of the violence at Sandy Hook. In some ways it would be easier just to grieve, to stop everything and sink down into … Continue reading Bells We Would Ring: Kenneth Patchen
back to plath
This month at One Clover & A Bee Pokey wrote about Sylvia Plath’s, The Bed Book. Yes, reader, the Queen of Darkness also wrote four kid’s books! The Bed Book has some of Plath’s signature skill and style, and Pokey wishes she’d discovered it during those aeons when her babies didn’t sleep. I don’t know … Continue reading back to plath
30 poems in november, the uncooked bird
