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.
The poems by Kearney, esp. Kearney, and Peterson were very interesting. Who are they?
And the Tate poem is very amusing.Thanks...
I've always wondered why the pesky Grackle appears in so many poems. Still wondering!
But I love what Katie Peterson and Meg Kearney did with the image here. So, so good!
