I'm off Harriet (the poetry foundation's web site) and have been entertaining thoughts about coming back here. Not to post my poems (because I want to give them time to find their vessels) and not to trumpet my own career (don't go anywhere to speak of) but perhaps to post a poem occasionally or to steer people to something good I've read.

Meanwhile, I do appreciate everyone's kind words.

Lucia is posting at Harriet, the Poetry Foundation's blog.

I’m sorry for not stating here that I’d let my anthology go dormant. One reason was that I didn’t think anyone was looking at it, but recently I finally opened it up and there were many comments. So to those people who did check in—thank you for reading my posted poems, it gives you a sense of a my (boring, middlebrow) taste. Maybe I will take the anthology up again at a later time, because on re-reading those poems, many of them forgotten by me (so much for the memorization), I realized how much I like them.

For now, though I wanted to say that I am blogging (part-time, another questionable experiment) for the Poetry Foundation, which is affiliated with poetry magazine. So you can read my maundering for the next few months at poetryfoundation.org. You will find there a wee heading that says “blog.” I’ll only be posting once a week, though, through the month of August. Perhaps that will motivate me to start posting poems again. Or not. So far, I’ve learned that the blogging world is a little rougher than I’m temperamentally suited for.
