Post by Terry Lucas.

It's been a while since I've posted on this blog.  As you can see below, I've been more busy creating work, than writing about other people's work.  But the time has come to use this blog as a way of promoting the work of my fellow poets.  Since many people I meet want to know where to find my recent work, here is a sampling of my own work published in the last year, and where to find it. 

But now that I've done it, if you are in my poetry network (loosely defined), message me, or email me (lucas.t274@gmail.com), or just comment on this blog, and I will take a look at your recent (or not so recent) publications, and post them on this blog.  Perhaps an interview.  Who knows what it could evolve into.

Thank you to all of the publications below for all that you do for poetry and for the poets you have selected.
