It’s Saturday night, the skies are cloudy, and the satellite reception keeps cutting in and out. Guess it’s time for some poetry links.
I don’t generally link to poetry reviews elsewhere, but the NY Times reviews poetry so rarely that I figured I ought to do it if only for the sake of novelty. It’s for Adam Bradley’s Book of Rhymes, a new anthology that makes the case for rap’s inclusion in the world of serious poetry.
Harper’s Magazine points us to meatpaper, and Kevin Young’s “Ode to Boudin.”
John Clare, victim of identity theft.
And finally, the search for the perfect Auden Martini.
