This year marks changes for my classes. They’ll be offered online. I’m a huge fan of sharing with voices, so conference calls are worked into these classes three times. Two are group calls; one is a private consultation toward the end of class. The class will start with our first conference call and an hour-and-a-half lecture and first assignment. The second week we’ll have our second conference call and each participant will read their first article, get feedback, and share the excitement. Add a private blog for questions during the week, lessons sent by pdf weekly, three articles and three queries completed by the end of class, and an optional gift exchange at the end. Not only will you learn in this intensive class, you’ll have fun doing it. For more information please click on the link here.

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.
