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 Sharpener is one of my regulars on ss, making it a quadruple s nugget to be treasured. I want to share how, tho' I haven't yet upgraded to paid, it has cost me a bundle. I continue to search for a work in which the poem "Cows" by Paul Muldoon was published. I've purchased "Moy Sand and Gravel" autographed first edition for $6 (new condition) and then (since it wasn't in it) "Selected Poems 1968 - 2014" thinking it should certainly be in there (at three times the cost of "Moy") So, I'll just thank you for that and if you happen to know in which book you found the page you posted with that wonderful poem....
really loved this one, Sean.
