I've been remiss about linking to Galatea Resurrects. I liked the idea right off: informal reviews of poetry books. I thought blogs would be rich in that sort of thing, but in fact there aint much reviewing, of publications or readigs, going on in blog world. or (give up the ship) the Poetics List. instead, you most often get these implemented treatise, which are mere siphonings from class. I like the variety of approaches to poetry blogs, and don't mean to say blogs should do anything. but I expected, and would find useful, a stream of informal reactions to the poetry that people find. so Eileen Tabios offers this model for instigating the critical side. if nothing else, it puts readers in front of review copies.
