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.
Like is not exactly the word I would use to describe the sentiment, but a remarkable little collection. Kenneth Fearing is new to me (as are the others) and he has a way with the vernacular of his generation that still works hard.
