Got the wonderful news the other day that I’m to be Broadsided. If you’ve never heard of this press, they pair up writers with visual artists to create broadsides which are published online, one a month, as pdfs and which people all across the country (and beyond) download, print, and post in the streets or anywhere. Next August my poem “Stop Doing That,” first published in Poet Lore, will be Broadsided. I’m excited to see what an artist does with the poem. Meanwhile, check out the broadsides already made (they’ve been going since 2005) and perhaps print out a few and stick them up in your neighborhood? Anyone can become a Vector (their name for people who post their broadsides.) Cool, eh?

Some of my favorite broadsides include:
* “Aphasia” by Dorianne Laux
* “Epithalamion” by G.C. Waldrep
* “In Our Time” by Ilya Kaminsky
* “Mooring Stones” by Paula Carter
