let's get it started

I ran into a clerk at Barnes and Noble, while buying a volume of W.S. Merwin poetry, who said that she wrote fiction and really couldn't "get into" poetry, didn't understand it, often felt confused by it, etc. I offered that reading and writing poetry only enhances fiction writing. I am not sure she was convinced. But I am. However, of late, I cannot find any poetry in my head at all. I don't want to say what I have stuck there--in my head--because it is sad and mundane and boring and distracting. I am also reading The Anthologist (about a stuck poet, more or less) and that's not helping. So, let's get it started. Here's a site to go to that I think will jog anyone besides me who needs to be jogged (links to journals, their content and their submission guidelines). http://www.writehabit.org/journals.html
It's rather inspiring really.

Did you guys talk about the blog at all? I think we need a better name...

It looks like only Karen and the mysterious guy with Russian connections (it's either Kevin or Alexander Ovechkin) so far on the blog.

I think we need to come up with a good, good name for this, as befits this group. The group should discuss...

Thanks Rimas!

Now we have a little spot to call our own.
