My Interviews and Book Reviews Are Up At Poet’s Quarterly
January 4, 2010
If you haven’t seen the great new online lit journal for poets, visit http://www.poetsquarterly.com
The editor is Lori A. May, and she has done a great job getting this journal up.
The first issue featured my interview with poet David Biespiel about his latest book of poetry The Book of Men and Women, and two reviews. One of these was on K.Alma Peterson’s chapbook Befallen, and Carla Drysdales’s Little Venus .
.
For the second issue my interview is with poet and Keats scholar Stanley Plumly, author of Posthumous Keats: A Personal Biography.
In this issue is also a review I wrote of Penelope Scambly Schott’s book of poetry Six Lips. Please visit often, and let Lori know how much you like the site.

A mind map of me… {finding balance}, originally uploaded by off2skool.
Here is a really good blog post on mind-mapping a book. I didn’t want to lose the link. In fact, I wanted to share it. I agree this is a great way to organize writing, whether it’s an article, or a book. There are other terrific posts on her page.
I use mind-mapping in my writing and my classes, too.
Enjoy!
