Joan Houlihan is a poet, essayist, and playwright who lives in Boston. Her
work has appeared in such magazines as Gettysburg Review and Spoon River
Poetry Review. A mini-chapbook of Joan's work is available online at:
Web Del Sol.

May I suggest that people read her essay
On the Prosing of Poetry
How Contemporary American Poets are Denaturing the Poem
By JOAN HOULIHAN
 through Arts and Letters at:
http://www.cybereditions.com/aldaily/

There is truth, judgement and honesty in what she writes.
And it is deliciously politically incorrect on the matter of poetry today,
certain to annoy what were once called poetasters (writers of feeble verse -
would we were so lucky in the matter of tecnhique)
and separate the true from the false.

Regards,
Aidan
