7. The Steiny Road to Operadom: A Book Publishing Trajectory. Here are two entries that I believe will interest the WOMPO list.
#1 Splendid Wake, Discovering the Scope of Poetry in the Nation's Capital.
There is a big project afoot in DC led by Myra Sklarew and Elisavietta Ritchie to showcase the history of contemporary poetry in Washington DC.

#2 Despite Obstacles, Why Poetry Matters
This wide ranging post analyzes the state of poets giving readings away from home base: how two East Coast poets fared in California, lessons learned but framed in the bigger world of whether poetry matters as discussed by a Washington Post essayist, the inaugural poet Richard Blanco and the new U. S. poet laureate Natasha Trethewey.
