Excerpt of The Departure by Michael Parker

  HOME

Wednesday, April 13, 2005

This article is part of a continuing series on poetry to commemorate National Poetry Month.

The Interboard Poetry Community (IBPC) is highlighting a poem each day of the month of April in commemoration of Poetry Month. Today's poem, for example, is one of e.e. cummings greats "your little voice." Other poets included so far on their list consist of Hart Crane, Mark Strand, Elton Glaser, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Carl Sandburg, and Davis Mcombs. You can view this feature titled The Daily Verse here

While your at it, you will want to check out this this month's winning poems "That I Was Here," by M, "Handless Woman," by Lynn Sweeting, "Widowed," by Ash Bowen, and "pejorative requim in medias res," by Nicky Testavudo.  (I'd like to add that I think "Handless Woman" is an especially good poem.)

The IBPC is a community of 15+ poetry online workshops, magazines, and groups such as About Poetry, Atlantic Unbound, Blueline Poetry, Cafe Utne, Critical Poet, Desert Moon Review, Enter the Muse, Frugal Poet, iVillage, Lit with Kick, Melic Review, Minister Joe, MipoZine, Moontown Cafe, OZpoet, Rabbit Hole, Salty Dreams, SC Writer's Workshop, SplashHall Poetry, The Writer's Block, and Wild Poetry Forum.  I am a proud member of the MipoZine group of poets.
