Events
Our big 'Event every year is a series of essays on the nature of poetry, its varied forms, and its relevance in the present day. The series features some of the material from the collection, but in the last few years, the emphasis has shifted to focus on recent poets, their works, and the things that drive them. Joining Nelson (Howard) Miller, Bob Blair, and myself, are two special contributors: Chicago poet Kashiana Singh, and Robin Martin Berard, whose portfolio would fill up the entire page if I listed everything.
While we follow the American calendar schedule, celebrating Poetry Month in April each year, our coverage is broad and inclusive, discussing poets from all over the world - some who write in English, and some who write in other languages. It's an interesting event, with intriguing individuals, incisive commentary, and, hopefully, valuable take-aways for our readers.
