I have been enjoying Peter Nicholson’s Poetry and Culture column over at Three Quarks Daily. In particular, his thoughts on irony in our emerging century struck a chord. He calls poetry, “the gold nerve of our condition” and urges the art toward a kind of new humanism. I guess I’m not alone in thinking something’s gotta change.

I love A Poetry Fairy Tale. Thanks! Now off to read other links here. Did you get the book yet? I hope I don’t become the girl who sent the book and then wouldn’t stop bugging the shit out of you for it. LOL.
It did indeed arrive. You have become (perhaps always were) the girl who is totally awesomely generous with great taste in poetry. I am about halfway through (via a couple different sittings) and totally loving Wright’s relationship to language. Really, thank you.
