NEW NODE IN THE POETRY INTERNETOSPHERE

How a Poem Happens: Pretty much has dibs on every strictly lyric narrative poet who has a book awards on a college press. Poetry Daily: Sort of the same. Maybe a little more latitude. Action, Yes: Meat for the animals. notnostrums : Fence :  Octopus. EOAGH: Taking care of it on the fragmented side (w/notable exceptions).

This is my terribly reductive mini internet poetry landscape.

Here is another for your consideration: iO

Kyle & Wendy are hitting a sweet spot somewhere between the above while avoiding  content overload.  Issue One will have Susan Tichy, Franz Wright, Zach S, Kara Candito, and <sigh, yes, this post does have ulterior motives> me.

See the issue preview here.

Scary, No Scary–Sunday the 16th–Zachary Schomburg, Emily Kendal Frey, & Joe Hall at Cheryl’s Gone/Big Bear Cafe

It’d be great to see you here.  Zach and Emily are tremendous poets.  You can see some poems here , here, and here. A a few collaborations here.

Labeled one of the New York Public Library 25 Books to Remember in 2007 Zach’s first book The Man Suit was a knockout. He’ll be at CG/Big Bear to read from his new book, which like super classy baseball cards is getting the wrapped in foil limited edition treatment by Black Ocean.

In short, come out. There will be beer.  And me.
