An essay of mine from a few years ago 'Being Diffult' has been rehabilitated and appears in today's Rattle daily content newsletter. It's sort of a glancing commentary on poetry boards, a composite of them really, but more a discussion of poetic difficulty.
Should any one board sink into a sea of self-doubt and self-recrimination over this little ole essay, it would be unwarranted.
