We congratulate Kay Ryan (one of Dave's favorite poets) on her appointment as Poet Laureate of the U.S. See http://snurl.com/30a3v

qarrtsiluni Lesson learned: always convert videos to MP4 format. The AVI we originally posted was 6.59MB. The MP4 is 1.81MB. Shouldn't stick now.
qarrtsiluni Transformation begins. http://snurl.com/2zi02 We are reminded that it is the power of the image that makes a good metaphor great.
qarrtsiluni Ivy Alvarez on writing poetry for a theme: http://snurl.com/2z49c
qarrtsiluni Of course, now that we've done that, Twitter has at long last fixed the link to the archives.
qarrtsiluni Also, we're gathering our news tweets on a tumblelog now, due to Twitter's unreliablity. http://qarrtsiluni.tumblr.com/
qarrtsiluni We be podcasting. http://snurl.com/2y3g2
qarrtsiluni In case anyone is wondering why we now try to avoid linking to Amazon.com: http://snurl.com/2xf82 Open Library is a much better alternative.
qarrtsiluni Compiling the Notes on Contributors is a humbling experience. http://snurl.com/2xa9f Dave feels vaguely as if we're perpetrating a fraud.
qarrtsiluni The founder of the literary magazine Ploughshares is the major force behind a new peace deal in Iraq: http://snurl.com/2u6u1
qarrtsiluni Is "Dancing Jellies" really only our second video? http://snurl.com/2u2lu We'd love more video submissions.

qarrtsiluni The new theme: Transformation. http://snurl.com/2s58w
qarrtsiluni @mygorgeous Vlog = video blog. Best guess is that the portmanteau was invented by a sado-masochist.
qarrtsiluni New addition to the qarrtsiluni Links page: a weekly poetry vlog! (And you thought "blog" was an ugly word.) http://www.poetryvlog.com/
qarrtsiluni @tinydoctor If we told you that now, we'd have to kill you. We'll publish the call for submissions on July 1.
qarrtsiluni A minor re-write of the "How to Contribute" page. Are things clear enough yet? Any feedback would be welcome. http://snurl.com/2pd2x
qarrtsiluni We've been getting a flood of contact messages from people wanting to be notified about the next theme. It's nice to feel sought-after.
qarrtsiluni Appropriately enough, the title of Katherine's chapbook is "Water Signs." It will be published by Finishing Line Press.
