I received a pdf file review copy of Kent Johnson’s collection of epigrams on living poets and am taking a look. Kent courts controversy and he apparently is generating quite a stir “on the scene.” I promised to talk it up on this blog and will share my thoughts on the book (available from Blaze Vox as a print on demand volume) in the near future. That will have to wait, however, until I return from Maryland, where I’ll be giving a talk on slavery in Carroll County, and hopefully helping to plan an African-American oral history project for that part of the United States.
