Alabama Literary Review editor Bill Thompson gives me props on The Best American Poetry website

I’ve been enjoying the responses so far to our twenty questions.  A number of respondents have managed to score a belly laugh or two from me, and I hope you, too, will enjoy — have been enjoying — them.

But today’s entry is about what I am learning from the responses.  Take William Thompson’s response, for example.  I had never even heard the name Armine Iknadossian, but Bill is right that hers is an exciting new voice.  I found a few poems of hers on the web, and know now to watch for her first book to appear.

Here is a link to a poem of hers: http://groong.usc.edu/tlg/tlg-20071222.html
