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.
I really love these. I was surprised that Ponge’s work became an ars poetica. I love the set ending with Gross.
