Congratulations on episode 100 of #haikuTalk Ben! And thank you for such a thoughtful and gracious discussion of responding to an editor's suggestion for slight revision of a poem. As you said, it is always in service of the poem.

If every head of state and every government official spent an hour a day reading poetry we'd live in a much more humane and decent world. —Mark Strand
A few sample poems from the spring issue of Acorn (that went in the mail to subscribers this morning). Enjoy! acornhaiku.com/sample-poems
The spring issue of Acorn will be out in April with poems from Australia, Canada, Croatia, Costa Rica, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine, and the US. And lots of poets appearing for their first time in the journal.

Such a good idea!
“There is a necessity to be still sometimes and let life happen to you, to let your manner of being in the world be changed by what happens to you so that you will have a different self out of which to write.” —Louise Glück theparisreview.org/interviews/803…
New Year’s Day always means the opening a new reading window for Acorn. As I begin reading poems for the spring issue, here is a look back at Acorn’s 2023 Pushcart Prize nominated poems. Huge thanks to everyone who makes Acorn possible! Happy New Year!

He gave the best answer ever:
The question any novel is really trying to answer is, Is life worth living? —Nicholson Baker, from an interview (love this as one of the epigraphs to Sigrid Nunez's The Friend)
“What if you felt the invisible / tug between you and everything?” — Ellen Bass
“I don’t find solitude agonising . . . Holes in paper open and take me fathoms from anywhere.” — Beckett in a letter (Jan. 26, 1959)
ahh we’re nearing the end of national poetry month & i’m the poet of the week over on @onlypoemsmag!!! i’ve got SEVEN new poems in ONLY POEMS—here’s one of them, “Corresponding with the Heterosexuals” (an activity i often find funny but sometimes not so fun)
Maybe a good sign for bookstores? The allotment request from our distributor for @RattlePoetry's summer issue is back over 1,100 copies for the first time since they fell during the pandemic. Mostly they go to Barnes & Noble stores.
The Earth and Moon as seen by the Cassini probe from Saturn's orbit. All of humanity in one small dot in space.
The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism [...] —Hannah Arendt
