A new, international editorial team for RealPoetik
Monday January 16, 2006
from Kirby Olson, outgoing editor of Realpoetik, one of our favorite sources of email poems:
“Thank you for reading over this last year. Thank you to the poets who allowed me to print poems (Robert Creeley passed away and I still have all his emails and refuse to ever delete them!), thanks to those who entered contests but didn’t win, and thanks especially to the loyal readers who stuck with this list in spite of the explosion last summer. Without the readers the poets mean zip.
“The new editors are Lars Palm of Sweden (he lives in the Canary Islands) and Ana Bozicevic-Bowling, who is from Belgrade but lives in Brooklyn. Hopefully they will publish translations as well as great new American poets! The list is now theirs, and it’s an exciting transition. I found them both on Ron Silliman’s blog roll and have liked reading their blogs, and their poems.
“I’m going to focus on selling my novel Temping. It’s my first novel at age fifty! I’ve been mostly a critic up until now. Then I had a daughter, and grew a heart.” ~Kirby Olson
