Poetry in 1968 February 22, 2013: We've been thinking about all things 1968 ever since we read David Biespiel's Poetry Wire at The Rumpus the other day. He offers an interesting challenge, as we mentioned earlier, to name the "Year of Years" in American poetry. We decided to twist the game a little and stick with 1968, searching inwardly at what the year looked like for Poetry [...] by Harriet Staff

If that's your bag, make your way over to Silliman's blog today to read another insightful dispatch on the poetry glut. The second editions of the NAPAP is once again [...] by Harriet Staff

New to the Archive September 25, 2012: This week we're offering some choice gems newly added to our online archive.

New to the Archive September 12, 2012: After a late-summer hiatus from our online archive reporting, we're back with a hefty load of new poems we've added recently.

With all the talk about space, the [...] by Harriet Staff

Moving on, we’d like to [...] by Harriet Staff
