For a long time I have wanted to create a space to put up poems that are significant to me, many of which have been written by unknown writers or which lie outside the canonized bodies of work of more famous writers. Many of the poems I am drawn to are wildly discursive, and that usually means long, but I have also been meaning to prod myself to develop a larger mental data base of poems, and shorter poems seem more ammenable to memorization by heart.

So this will be a sort of mish-mash: memory poems, forgotten poems, never even remembered poems, unanthologized poems

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.
