Megan Levad is not a drunken slut

But she is my friend and an awesome poet. Her poem "I’m more the drunken slut kind of feminist, or A Treatise on Political Philosophy at the Apex of American Empire" is online at Granta.com along with an awesome picture of Ms. Levad herself. Hooray, Megan!

"The Swing" by Don Paterson

I just finished reading a review of Rain, the new book by poet Don Paterson, in the May 2010 issue of Poetry and I immediately sought out Paterson's "The Swing." A.E. Stallings ends the review with the last few stanzas. I'm very thankful that it's online at via Granta, where it was originally published in 2007, so that I could read the whole thing immediately.
