My thought was to find something published in the past five years, but if people really wanted to go back ten, that would be okay by me--preferably something published online, so we could link and not have to worry about copyright violations. I got the idea because I found a lovely poem in the current Virginia Quarterly Review.

I like the idea: defend, define or deflate the contemporary and steer outside of the usual traffic markers. I have several pieces in mind already.

Another vote for Maryann's idea.
Also a question: whatever happened to Robert Mezey and the proposed E. A. Robinson event last year? I was looking forward to that one.

That has the making of an interesting event, Maryann.
Andrew, it was something to the effect that the designated host for that event didn't act, and I was too busy and didn't look in, or errr, crack the whip . . . and when I looked up, it was too late!
Cheers,

I have a poem in mind that I'm obsessed with lately, by June Jordan. I hope that's contemporary enough. I've even been thinking of presenting it in Musing on Mastery. It comes with her superb reading on YouTube.

That's too bad. Any hopes of a Robison event this year? How about a Hardy event?
I thought the Ruined Poems stuff was interesting. What about a ruined poem or smash palace event?

David, all good ideas. So, to everyone, the novel recommendations likely to make the finals are those that are popularly seconded by other posters and suggesters.
Cheers,

I could teach a master class on bird hunting. Seriously, I'd be happy to reapproach Mezey on Robinson.

Thanks everyone. See the new additions in the quoted area of my first post in this thread.
I believe, we might have enough events now, so this is the last call before I wrap up this suggestions/comments stage.
Cheers,
...Alex
