Blogging as a Poetic Tradition

In this age of internet and blog the possibility opens of a free circulation of works (poems and poetics in the present instance) outside of any commercial or academic nexus. I will therefore be posting work of my own, both new & old, that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to access, and I will also, as it comes to me, post work by others in the manner of a freewheeling on-line anthology or magazine. I take this to be in the tradition of autonomous publication by poets, going back to Blake and Whitman and Dickinson, among numerous others.

    I’m surprised it took him this long to figure that out!

    Jerry just came out from under a rock—Stone Age.
    Still,I’ll have to visit him, I guess.

    Yup, but if Rothenberg comes from the Stone Age, Mexican poets are still amphibia. Some of them are still figuring out what is email for.
