2. Verse Wisconsin 108 is available online and in print. This ia special issue on the intersections of poetry & performance that we believe maps new territory in that relationship. It includes persona and dramatic poetry, or "Mask & Monologue" poems; prose about verse drama and about poetic drama projects from blank verse to spoken word to Fakespeare; excerpts from new verse dramas representing a range of directions in writing plays in poetry and poetry for the stage; book reviews; audio/video; and more. The online issue is available at versewisconsin.org/issue108.html . Many Wom-pos are included in this issue, among the poems, book reviews, and verse dramas.
3. Julie R. Enszer blogs:
