This past week I was invited by UConn professor to lead a his class on the Wallace Stevens Walk in Hartford. I happened then on this article and thought I'd post it...


“I’ve been everywhere in Tajikistan, and I’ve found poetry everywhere,” explains Khudoyberdiev. In mountainous regions, he says, people “could communicate using rhyme. They keep a tradition which requires you to know poetry if you want to be a full-fledged member of society.”

I am incredibly happy to see that Louise Gluck won the Nobel Prize!

I hope everybody is fine on this list.
wishing you well,

Anny

Hi Anny,
Here's the the NY Times notice. 
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/08/books/nobel-prize-literature-winner.html
Glad to see another poet win the prize. And I don't think we'll have the same kind of brouhaha caused by Bob Dylan's win a few years ago.

Thanks for remembering this list's address. I've been using Facebook groups more in recent years, particularly these two groups... 
Voices of Poetry
V-V Talk 

That said, I launched 2 new Google Groups this year, one for Wallace Stevens aficionados and for another contemporary aphorists and those writers doing aphoristic writing of various kinds.

Be well,

Thank you, James,

so happy to hear from you.
I am also on Facebook. With pictures mainly... very little poetry lately, I should say.

Till later,
Anny

Anny,

I hate to encroach on your post, but this is the first Now Poetry post I've seen for a very long time, and I wonder if anyone can tell me if Now Poetry is still active and/or whether I've been dropped. I'd love to be part of the conversation once again.

Apparently it’s still here, but inactive. I’ve been seeing today’s posts, Skip.
