See some great visual poetry--including mine--this month at Addison Center for the Arts!


I'd like to announce a great exhibition of visual poetry opening on Monday, April 9 at the Addison Center for the Arts.  The show includes amazing work by many visual poets from the Chicago region and beyond, and is curated by Francesco Levato.  I provided ten pieces from my series "Natural History," though I don't know if all will be in the show. All the info is here, along with a nice image of one of my pieces, as a sample of what will be shown!  The gallery's info page is nice too as a source of info about visual poetry, its types and techniques.

Now available: e-ratio number 15

Issue 15 of e-ratiois now up, featuring five of my prose poems and multiple outstanding works by dozens of other poets! I'm especially excited by the Susan Bee interview also featured in this issue.  Check it out!

That Hometown Feeling

Paraphrased and image-quoted from Larry Sawyer's blog:

The Chicago School of Poetics is now enrolling for its first series of classes, beginning January 2012!  

Visit the site to get all the necessary information on course offerings, types, cost and payment options.  

The School "seeks to offer an alternative to, and a community beyond, the Creative Writing MFA." 

YES!
