poetreeFebruary was almost an embarrassment of riches here at POETREE. Our weekly Poetry Hosts goneahead, lnhammer, and dave_bonta guided us through realms of international poetry, translation, and research respectively; please join me in thanking them for each doing a superlative job. In the final week just past, ysabetwordsmith, bookblather, and I contributed posts on the theme of unusual poetry formats for this month's multi-Hosted week.
We also welcomedalee_grrl (Manda) as the new co-mod for the community. Throughout the past month Manda has worked tirelessly to catch us up on the weekly roundups and other community miscellanea, and has significantly eased my own workload at a time when I was less able to be present and involved with the community. Thank you, alee_grrl!
As we move forward into March, we have some exciting potential changes bubbling beneath the surface. The Anonymous Feedback Poll #2 will be open until this Friday; if you are not one of the five people who has already filled it out, please take a moment or two to do so. Based on that feedback Manda & I will be announcing some tweaks to comm policy and format this upcoming weekend, so now's your chance to make your voice heard in time to influence those decisions. (And if that isn't motivation enough, consider the fact that due to technical difficulties I ended up creating that poll manually three separate times. Yes, that was an epic amount of copy-and-pasting.)
Our regularly scheduled program will return soon. Until then, Manda & I look forward to hearing from you.
