Blog Culture: January 2004 Archives

I've said before how difficult it is to find a blog with intelligent talk about poetry. Well, I just found one: One Good Bumblebee. The writer's from Texas, a soon to be graduate, who hopes to go to grad school for an MFA. Good luck! But I hope she maintains her blog.

What I like about the blog is that the entries remind me of what it was like to be young with dreams of making it big in the world of poetry. There are entries about the pain of rejection, there are transcripts of chats about the author's intention in a poem. There are poems, too, but the blog doesn't seem self-serving but instead like a space where the writer is working to articulate her life as a poet.
