Book Review - 'Selected Poems,' by Wallace Stevens; Edited by John N. Serio - Review - NYTimes.com
Samizdat Blog: Poetry/Not Poetry
Where do we draw the line between what is poetry and what isn't poetry? Or, more specifically, what makes a poem a poem?
Boston Review — Brian Teare: Revelation—Barbara Guest's Collected Poems
Without The Collected Poems, we could not have known for sure that the tremendous change animating her work emerged amid bedrock constancy. All along, her poems have been most faithful to the moment mimetic and linear logics give way to association; her poems have courted the moment when writing through process gains true access to imagination.
Flarf: From Glory Days to Glory Hole - The Brooklyn Rail
Less than 24 hours after Barack Hussein Obama was elected 44th President of the United States, Americans began to declare irony dead.
Stoning the Devil: Uncategorizable: Jordan Stempleman's String Parade
I love the little twists and turns that Stempleman throws in, so that even though the feeling (of ambivalence and looking for solid "personal" ground to stand on) remains consistent, we are never quite sure what the next line will hold or where it will take us.

This paper will consider likely reasons for, and offer some suggestions for bridging the divide, arguing, through discussion of examples, for the importance of having haiku appear alongside and in stimulating conversation with other short poetry.
TheStar.com | U.K. embraces Canadian's book about vowels
Eunoia – which means "beautiful thinking" and is the shortest English word to include all five vowels – became an unlikely hit in Canada after its 2001 publication by Toronto-based independent Coach House Books. The book is in its 21st printing here, having sold more than 20,000 copies, an extraordinary feat for a poetry collection. It also won the 2002 Griffin Poetry Prize.
Jordan Stempleman: Still, Life Supports a Tending - Jacket 36
When I begin a poem, everything that I know vanishes. The hard road is to accept that no idea will ever be completed, no moment entirely captured, no understanding compounded into truth, and no earthy replacement left to represent the strong emotional undercurrent that insists upon the poem as its form.

Is the Internet really going to change how literary reputations get made?
