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.
Wonderful poems -- strange, green, moving -- read here in San Francisco as the storm of the century is moving in. But, well, OK, its not the first time, but I can't make out the way the Herakleitos fits with the other green poems. Don't tell me! I want to sit with it for a bit.
I love the Bronk. I’ll be mindful and observe my situations today.
