Sorry, I've been busy with my other blog endeavour lately... but I did want to post this link. I found this - The Writer's Almanac, from National Public Radio - via a few scattered quotes and emails, and I've been getting their newsletter ever since. It's a very Garrison Keillor sort of way to start the day (and if you don't know who Garrison Keillor is, look him up: his show A Prairie Home Companion is one of the formative elements of my childhood.)
The nice thing about it is getting a poem a day, and a reminder that it's, say, the birthday of Ted Hughes or the anniversary of the publication of Ulysses or what have you. It's, um, genteel.
