But it is not. Staff and curators peruse through the finished section of 21,000 odd poems we have and here are some of the poems/poets/blogs we think are worthy of your attention. Check out these poets and their works if you read something you like! So let's get started for the month of October! Mon, 06 Oct 2008 07:29:56 GMT http://www.gotpoetry.com./News/article/sid=16856.html Summary: In looking back over the columns I've written over the years, I realize that I've never really addressed myself to the question of how what goes on the page reflects what comes out of my mouth on the stage -- how I use the text of a poem to indicate performance cues, and how the consideration of eventual performance affects the writing of the piece. So, let's talk about that.

Urban drone that I am, I confess to being nature-impaired: I really wouldn't know a hawk from a handsaw. Fortunately I've made the decision to write about what I experience on a daily basis instead - the jaded angst of commuting to and from work by train.

So I think its time to bring out one of the first bad kid’s books I ever bought for the collection. The book is Little Playmate’s Album. Mon, 08 Sep 2008 04:12:58 GMT http://www.gotpoetry.com./News/article/sid=15922.html Summary: Summer slowly makes an exit and children are back to school. It is time for me to bring you another round of staff picks. I am sure you are as eager as I am to know which poems made it here, who the hottest critic is and who is the future face of GP. So without further delay, let's get on to it. Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:47:23 GMT http://www.gotpoetry.com./News/article/sid=15523.html Summary: This is the one where we look minutely at one aspect of a book and bring it out from its closet of neglect. Ken Doll, come on out and look yourself in the mirror of reality. It ain't pretty kids. Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:42:36 GMT http://www.gotpoetry.com./News/article/sid=14281.html Summary: This is a brief update about the National Poetry Slam going on this week in Madison, WI.

Never say we don't care.
