Re: [New-Poetry] BEST CITY FOR POETRY>>>Here's a real fantasy answer: a newspaper that ran a  weekly thousand-word column by someone knowledgeable of his city's poetry  scene who covered some local poet's poetry in every other column, with  intelligently-discussed examples of it included.  The columnist would do  the same thing in his other columns, except with national poets (perhaps  connecting them to local poets).

  Wow!  If anyone finds something like this, or gets a newspaper to do it, be sure to let us know!


  Well, I did say "fantasy answer."  But how about a newspaper that intelligently covered one local poet a month?  Or one local poet every three months, one local composer every three months and one lcoal painter or sculptor every three months.
