As seen on the glorious LJs of poets you know, such as mojgani , ocvictor , and twosnoos ...

Hey All...

Does anybody know what's up with LivePoets.com, since Gabrielle's passing?  I noticed today that it's down...

It's a pretty critical resource.  I'm assuming (!) someone is taking care of it and there isn't any danger of it being shut down permanently.  But it would set my mind at ease to hear that from someone in the know...

Hey All...

It's been a week now, and I really should have posted this note shortly after the event. But to be honest, I was kind of exhausted, and then I managed to get sick, and so I've been holed up and nursing my wounds here in New York for the past week (in my little cubby hole on 3rd street with the four foot high ceilings).

But let me just say ( Read more... )
