The 2011 Mix

You can download a zip file of my fave songs of 2011 mix here.

Here's the tracklist:

These times are rich

with amazing poems. Here are some I read and loved this week, in new issues of jubilat, Fence, and Barrelhouse, and on Poem-A-Day at poets.org:

• Sandra Simonds' three poems at Barrelhouse
• Ben Fama's "[TODAY IS FULL OF HARSH NOISE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.]" at jubilat
• Ariana Reines' "Baraka" at Fence
• Hoa Nguyen's "Swell" at poets.org

I also love jubilat's new video and indexing features. Ben's poem, for example, is indexed as--

Fama, Ben 

football, American

hair 

time 

video 

--which is hilarious and also helps explain why I like it.

Delirious Hem Adventskalendar is back!

Susana Gardner is blowin' up my feed! After completing Dusie 5, she went and created the fantastic Delirious Hem Adventskalendar, which features an amazing woman poet reading you one of her poems every day. So far: Anne Boyer, Shanna Compton, Lina ramona Vitkauskas. Many more to come!
