The debut issue of Epicentre has just launched, edited by moi and Ian Chung.
Bit of prose, a review, and some poetry by Helen Ivory, Richie McCaffery, Peter Cowlam, Claire Trevien and others ...
Looking for new work too, if anyone's interested. |

| Shrapnel and Oranges |

Kevin Cadwallender's collection of poetry, Shrapnel and Oranges, is online here. It's fairly bursting at the seams. By turns gritty and graceful, generous and grudging. Read it!

I am looking for examples of poetry where the physical geography is echoed in the shape of the text on the page - any ideas? |

| Eliza Griswold, "Everyone Is an Immigrant" |

From the article (Poetry and reportage in Lampedusa):
"I think of what Wallace Stevens says in The Necessary Angel. A poet has no moral role. A poet has to use imagination to press back against the violence of reality. I don’t agree. He also wrote that reality was growing more insistent, more violent. I agree with that."

| 'Confessional' Poetry, Lowell, & Bishop |
| Posted by mgranier - 11-19-11 12:05 - 2 comments |

Even those, such as myself, who only read the occasional article on Lowell or Bishop (and why they are/are not 'major', 'great', etc.) can't help noticing how Lowell's descent appears like a counterweight to Bishop's speedy rise. I don't give a toss really, as I love both, especially Bishop; I am just bemused when poet/critics like Kleinzahler sweepingly dismiss Lowell's Collected as a 'holed tanker' sinking into oblivion (you'll find more maritim ...read more |

| Where is Everybody? |

On Facebook and Twitter, I suppose. Sooner or later I will have to cave in and join them, but I just feel that when I do my last claim to have an extra-digital life will evaporate. Seriously, are they now essential for a writer? And are they as much of a pain as I strongly suspect they are, or am I just being fogeyish? |

In an article on the New Statesman blog, I came across this curious phrase:
(discounting, of course, the usual old bastions of neo-modernism).
Who are these people? I can't say I've ever met one myself... |

| The Petition |
| Posted by Angela France - 07-31-11 14:00 - 1 comments |

Petitioners! the petition site's software has a bug. Look at the names and see who is marked as 'unverified'. If it's you, you may have to go through the whole registration thing again. If it's someone you know, please tell them. All unverified or duplicate names will be deleted so you're not signing twice. Out of 950+ names, 150+ are unverified, so we need 200 verified names before that petition can get out.
