Subscribe to The Sharpener
The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes weekly installments of craft pieces, approaches to writing problems, topics in contemporary publishing for writers, and biographical features on poets I consider important.
As a competitor in the dog walking Olympics the past two decades, I love Nellie McKay's song! I sent it to a friend who is blue today. Great selections, but I am biased!!
Hard to pick a favorite today, but a new poet or two..
