And The Winner Is....
The announcement for the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature is out and Turkey's Orhan Pamuk has won for works bridging the east-west divide .
Not surprisingly, President Bush has rejected the findings of the Johns Hopkins Study on Iraqi deaths since the invasion. But the best arguments on the subject I have seen was made here and here. The study provides a significant point at which to judge the impact this decision has had and continues to have on the people of Iraq. Like some many other things, the president is simply in a state of denial.
A Canadian-born, Pulitzer Prizewinning poet survives the tests of time- Mark Strand. Read this article about his new book, Man and Camel.
Always amused by what brings people to this site. Two recent search engine keyword strings used...

Wednesday Poet Series - No. 4
This week's poet is 
Peter Conners. He is both a poet and fiction writer who's work has been featured in Mississippi Review, Salt Hill, Beloit Fiction Journal, Luna, Sentence, 88: A Journal of Contemporary American Poetry, Paragraph, and, Quick Fiction, among other publications. Books include, The Names of Winter, While In The World , and he edited PP/FF: An Anthology
What work of Conners I have read seems intricate as to detail. Bite The Pomegranate would be a great example as to his predisposal to catching all that is about and pulling it into his images as he writes.
The Poet Washes Dishes is a favorite of mine. Here he gets a lot of mileage out of his detail.

" Water turned from periods to semi-colons and, finally, ellipses."
Here are a few other poems by Peter Conners:
