Is there someone not on my list who should be there? I am always looking for new poets to read; please share.
This is some good stuff. Let’s meet up sometime spring quarter; what’s your schedule? I have class on Wednesdays from 4:30-7 in Arps Hall.
Have you checked out Borges? Steven Crane? From what I’ve seen here, I think you would like them.
Love to see more of your work: Web daybreakpoetry (dot-com) check out Prism Quarterly, of which I am publishing editor.
Thanks for the holy moment.
U a student of literature?? =D
Yes! I am an English major with a Creative Writing specificity, although you wouldn’t have guessed it based on my amount of output lately.
