praise song

Am I the only person on the planet who loved Elizabeth Alexander's poem for Obama's inauguration?? Let me go on record for loving it and loving how she read it. If you were too distracted to listen to her or otherwise numbed by the enormity of the event as they say, then go read it at poets.org for goodness sake. We crawl towards spring and perhaps will find a space for a poetry reading, at the very least in April, National Poetry Month! Perhaps in Narragansett, but somewhere it will happen. Looking forward to this year's URI Writers Conference...make plans to attend!
