Speaking  of arts organizations, has anyone noticed that the  
Poetry Foundation is currently listed as one of the sponsors
of The News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS? I've been getting
my news elsewhere for some time now, but happened to peek
in at The News Hour just a couple evenings ago.


That gives us some idea of where some of that enormous grant
money is going.



Does THE NEWS HOUR still feature an occasional poetry segment
featuring Robert Pinsky? Perhaps this org is underwriting only  that feature?
Perhaps taking heed of Pound's "Literature is the news that stays  news."
