I just wish they would distribute the money. There was such a great opportunity to offer grants to up and coming poets and others who are not part of academia. It's just a shame.

I'm just amazed you're able to think so rationally about this issue. I just start huffing and puffing. Great post!

Now about Poetry - you are so so right! Not just about them - but about the way we do "business" -- things are changing and changing fast.

Why does poetry have to complicate people's lives anyway? Can't it just act as a form of enrichment? Forget director of development, you should be running the whole bloomin' thing!! Spot on to the max.

And I agreed with everything you said until I got to the end. I did not hear anything after you suggested they hire you. YES!!! Move to Chicago! You and L! Move here! That's all I hear in my head now. All else is erased. You need to get that job.
