Poetry and Boredom - Houlihan Speaks
Author: Joan Houlihan
From: Houlihan's Blog
 Coming of age in the warhol-inspired, electric-kool-aid-acid-test, krapp's last tape, happenings, conceptual/ performance/installation art, open/visual/concrete poetry era, the discussion of "conceptual poetry" taking place on the poetry foundation blog in Kenneth Goldsmith's entries, seems very familiar, even retro, to me, but I know I must be careful not to conflate what happened then with what's happening now, however similar they may seem (how aggravating it is to hear "oh, that's nothing new"!).

Suffering the Gipper - We Must Not Forget
Author: Mike Zasadil
From: The Potomac Journal of Poetry and Politics
 The fact that conservatives are less than thrilled with a candidate such as John McCain is one result of the Reagan Revolution, a fundamental transformation of American politics. As with all revolutions this one comes with a heroic narrative crediting Ronald Reagan with winning the Cold War, cutting taxes, rebuilding the economy, restoring American’s confidence, and lifting this nation from the malaise of the Carter years to its rightful place in the world.
Reagan is so revered that few are willing to question his legacy. But there is no better time to revisit the history of Ronald Reagan than the beginning of the 21st century, as we begin to suffer the full consequences of his policies and the revolution that bears his name ... more
