		<description><![CDATA[From May 22 to June 1 Sylvia and I will be on a trip to Cyprus, the third-largest Mediterranean island, situated in the corner between Turkey and Syria. Like most other such islands, it is filled with ancient ruins from the Neolithic age to the present. In ancient times it was famed for its copper [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been spending a lot of time lately reworking the poems in a collection I am calling Turnings. I have been sending it out, in various versions, to publishers for a few months now. A lot like fishing in muddy water. It takes more energy to rework a poem than to lay it out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reactionary impulses of the 2010 elections propelled the North Carolina Republican Party into control of the legislature for the first time in a century. One result was that we North Carolinians are now asked to be the last state in the old Confederacy to outlaw same-sex marriage at the Constitutional level. The amendment states: [...]]]></description>

Called “ArtGroup,” it is being cultivated by Luke Allsbrook, a local painter. We presented only a few of our poems, doing each one twice in order to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An old trail leads from our house up to a waterfall in the woods on Wolfpen Mountain. Twinned basswood trees &#8212; also known as lime, linden or linn trees &#8212; stand near the trail, perhaps a century old. The basswood is a soft wood prized by woodcarvers. Two weeks ago one of them fell after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is a “blog,” which is what they call these items I post on this site, a “publication”? In confronting recent discussions of this question I began to wonder if there is a clear-cut line between “published” and “unpublished.” As usual, a little historical perspective might help us. It seems to me that our concept of [...]]]></description>

The flood of corporate money now corrupting our politics makes the matter more than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On our recent stay in Florida we saw thousands of birds along the shore, hopping before the surging foam, diving toward the waters, clipping inches over the waves. This image arose as my eyes followed their graceful search for food. For you grammarians the poem has something missing. Is it missing, or is its absence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How amazing! In the midst of the Republican primary circus, the American people are actually trying to debate tax policy.  The problem with such debates is that they either drown in the complexities of any tax code or they are reduced to slogans and simplisms. There are a couple of mid-range ideas that have occupied [...]]]></description>
