On Sunday 10 April I invite you to share a favorite poem or two with us, whether by a poet you love or one of your own poems. Or you can tell us a story involving poetry, as you like.
We’ll gather by Zoom at 7 pm Central Time. Email me for URL

The Question of Self-Publishing
For 25 years William Blake
kept the copper plates for
the Songs of Innocence
to print a copy or two on a need
& then he hand-painted the colors
with Catherine’s help
Walt Whitman helped set & print
his own Leaves of Grass
in the Brooklyn vastness
Woody Guthrie
a mimeographed edition of his songs in ‘39
& Ginsberg mimeo’d some “Howl”s
in ‘55
& how about Chekhov’s Tales of Melpomene in 1885
which he paid for
or Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility
of 1811?
& so it goes
& goes so well
