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.
The progression of these poems was energizing, and the poems by Sleigh and Lockwood really leapt at me.
