Has Laurable's weblog gone dark? It's been a month now since it has been updated. One of the first two serious weblogs relating to poetry (the other is Joe Duemer's Reading & Writing (now Sharp Sand), Laurable's weblog has been a beacon of good energy for poetry throughout its existence. I don't think that Laura Willey & I share precisely the same aesthetic, and I've felt at times that she focuses on sound recordings as a fetish of sincerity. But there can be no disputing that her weblog has had a terrific influence on an enormous number of poets, myself included. I'm definitely suffering signs of withdrawal.
