Subscribe to The Sharpener
The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes craft pieces on craft, writing problems, information about professional literacy and labor issues for writers, and detailed citations and analyses of the poems I’m reading.
These poets are new to me; and wonderful.
Jacques Roubaud’s poem a keeper.
Thank you Sean Singer.
