Yesterday, Stephen made you an incredible offer. I’m here to expand it.
Do you have a favorite obscure poem (and no, poems are not necessarily obscure) or collection of poems you wish you could bring more attention to? Send me a writeup of the last poem (or book of poems) you loved along with a short bio and you could appear in our blog space here. No length requirements.
