Poetry and the Art of Choosing Favorites
I do not have favorite women poets. There, it’s out. I do not have favorite men poets either, so it’s an even deal. What could this mean? After all, I am a poet, a poetic author (I’ve been likened to Jane Kenyon and Annie Dillard), and the owner of T. S. Poetry Press. Oh, and […]
The Vet and the IED
During the month of October 2012, for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we will be featuring some posts related to Domestic Violence. This one is a poem by Anora.

Poet on Poetry with Sheree Rabe

Book Review: Poet Diana Raab’s Listening to Africa

These are brave pioneers and hard working hand weavers, who […]
Aluine’s Gardens by C. Murray
Before the house behind the sea, a garden. Before the mountain behind the house, a circuit of trees. Before the small house behind the grey sea, A strip of lawn enclosed with box. Before the tall mountain behind those six white walls of house, rows of young alders a circuit make. Before the house of tree […]
On Transcriptions: Transcribing Women’s Poetry
I transcribe women’s poetry. This short post is related to what I do on the Poethead blog and I suppose to the area of women’s writing that has been a concern for a few years now. Many of the poems that are a part of Poethead have found their way into my possession as gifts, or […]
