Speaking of being in good company, Dee Rimbaud's website,
www.thunderburst.co.uk, has recently been updated and contains a section on What Makes Poets Tick? Interesting replies from poets such as Anne Stevenson, Maxine Chernoff, Annie Finch, Ruth Fainlight, Edward Lucie-Smith, Michael Rosen, Dorianne Laux, Lawrence Sail, Joy Leftow, myself, and others.
I would also like to mention that the anthology in which my poem, "Aloft" appears,
The Book of Hopes and Dreams, will go into a second printing at the beginning of 2008. It will be available at Bluechrome Press in the U.K.
www.bluechrome.co.uk/store/shop/ . This anthology is raising funds for Spirit Aid's operations in Afghanistan, bringing doctors, nurses and medical supplies to remote parts of that country. Among others in the anthology are poets Simon Armitage, Margaret Atwood, Carol Anne Duffy, Robert Mezey and many others.
