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.
I read Jane Mead’s poem in typescript in the early ‘90s, before it was published (in her second collection, if I recall). I was her student at the time. Loved her poem then, and am happy to see it included here, Sean. Jane is much missed.
Also very fond of Merwin's "Fly".
