Bookforum’s daily roundup of internet gems shone their literary spotlight on our poetry editor Brian Spears whose piece “The Death and Resurrection of BlazeVOX,” we recently published. We wanted to reciprocate the love. So, here it is. We love you back, Bookforum! And if you want to know about the recent BlazeVOX controversy, the contemporary state of publishing poetry and the tensions between editors and poets, then I highly recommend Brian’s essay!
