Wave Books has uploaded lectures and talks by Mary Ruefle. Wow.
Possible post titles are still popping into my head. For example, I should have put this post with the previous one and called them together Emily in the Ether, Mary in the Cloud.

More of Madness, Rack, and Honey
KCRW's Michael Silverblatt interviews Mary Ruefle about her new book of essays, Madness, Rack, and Honey (new from Wave Books), on the radio program Bookworm.
Ruefle says such things as "Every poem moves forward by getting lost and then finding itself, and then getting lost and then finding itself." And "I never have anything to say when I begin a poem. When I begin a poem I have nothing to say and I think the poem is my way of saying, 'I have nothing to say. Give me a moment and I'll talk forever.' (laughter) That's my experience of writing."

Vinyl Poetry
It's embarrassing to do two self-promoting posts in a single day, but on the other hand, let's get it over with.
Vinyl Poetry Issue 3 is up and running. It includes some beautiful work by Ocean Vuong, Anna Journey, Jehanne Dubrow and many more (including four poems by me.)
One thing that attracted me to Vinyl Poetry is its interesting submissions policy. Most of the poems it publishes are solicited, but if you want to submit anyway, you send them links to your work online at other journals, and if they are interested, they will contact you to see new work.
Wave Books is a book publisher that used to have a similar policy, in which you sent them your latest book and they kept it on their bookshelves for a year. They'd contact you if they wanted to see new work. Recently it seems that they are closed to submissions, but I thought it was an interesting way to go (and they say to stay tuned for updated information concerning submissions.)
Wave Books also has an interesting section on their website devoted to erasures, which is a recent interest of mine (see an earlier post on February 13). You can make an erasure online using texts they've prepared, and you can also access a list of erasure poetry books.
Anyway, back to Vinyl, I sent them links to my online poems after a poet whose work I love appeared in their second issue, and they did contact me. So give it a try.
Check it out if you are so inclined.
