Hiya,
well i've been quiet for a while. in fact i've felt so belaboured with some
of the ding dong hereabouts that i considered signing off myself lately. But
I'm still here. Partly because I value the range of people here, partly
because it has been one list on which there have tended to be more posts by
women practitioners than on many other poetry lists i have encountered,
partly for its often energising and provocative projects.
The palette of core posters here does seem to have dwindled in proportion to
the density of posts over the past weeks in particular. All poetry lists
have had their mores and rumbles. Sometimes those spats have silenced
conversation and destroyed the list. I sincerely hope that this will not be
the case on poetryetc. Above all there are some powerful poets and thinkers
about poetry here. I value such company hugely.
love and love
cris
