I just discovered the new moderator has been announced this morning, and wish to welcome Marilyn Taylor, an excellent choice who I know will do a terrific job. I am retiring from Mastery moderation after some years (?) I believe here. I think it is time for new blood, new insights, new axes to grind, not to mention that I am increasingly caught up in toddler world. But I do plan to drop in, and of course offer any assistance I can to Marilyn while she gets used to the place.
One of the pleasures of Musing on Mastery (whose title I have repeatedly suggested changing, by the way--I trust this forum will remain open to discussing contemporary as well as classic verse, free as well as formal, and problematic poems as well as universally-acknowledged successes), is the civility I have generally found in this forum, and the willingness for genuine conversation and discussion. I am sure Marilyn will find that too. Thanks, all, for teaching me a great deal over the years, introducing me to new poets and rekindling my interest in poets I've overlooked. I'm sure I shall miss the job, though I look forward to a little more time for my own work!
sincerely,
Alicia
