reveling in difficulties: wp.me/s1RDyQ-ows
or, www.annemichael.wordpress.com
2. *Verse Wisconsin* 107 (November) is now available online and
in print. This is a BIG issue, with "Earthworks" poems online, essays about ecopoetry by Patricia Monaghan, Ann Fisher-Wirth and Laura-Gray Street, an interview with UW-Milwaukee Native American poet & professor, Kimberly Blaeser, poems from Wisconsin Poet Laureate Bruce Dethlefsen's new book, *Unexpected Shiny
Things*, ecopoetry in print, audio, book reviews, and more!
The online issue is available at versewisconsin.org/issue107.html. Many Wom-pos appear in both poetry and book reviews.
3. Lesley Wheeler has been guest-blogging for Shenandoah this November (http://shenandoahliterary.org/snopes/).
Her latest entry explores how poetic dedications “rewire the
writer-reader circuit”; an earlier piece, “Poetry, Pedagogy, and Ectoplasm,” discusses James Merrill and an eerie class séance.
Links to these pieces also appear on her regular poetry blog, thecavethehive.wordpress.com.
4. "I can't finish my ideas/my words are upside down"
by Esther Altshul Helfgott
blog.seattlepi.com/witnessingalzheimers/2011/11/06/i-can%e2%80%99t-finish-my-ideasmy-words-are-upside-down
I was proud, yet taken aback, when I read my husband's words
in a scientific article written for the National Institute for Medical
Research. This blog post discusses my feelings about the misuse of Abe's words and the lack of citation given to the "Journal of Poetry Therapy" which published the essay in which I had quoted them.
Ultimately, the author of the article, a professor of cellular neuroscience at Trinity College in Dublin, was helpful in seeing to the inclusion of the citation, thereby reversing what appears to have been institutional policy.
This is an important step for the field of narrative medicine which uses patient text and story in its tellings. If a patient's words
are to be used, they must be quoted and represented correctly. Dear WOMPO members, I'm especially interested in your feedback on this question.
Thanks for taking a look, Esther
