This year, a number of members of our blog community were kind enough to share thier experiences with the rest of us. As we bid goodbye to 2007, I wanted to thank them for thier contribuitions. Here's a little recap of thier generous offerings:

  • Ladylee kicked off the year by taking an artist date to The Junkman's Daughter in Atlanta. (Remember when we were all doing The Artist's Way? We might have fallen off the wagon, but we all fell off together.)
  • Remica Bingham wrote about bringing her family together with her of book of poems, "Convergrance."
  • Camille Dungy wrote in memory of Phebus Ettienne, who passed away last March.
  • Jacqueline Jones LaMon fell in love with her novel all over again.
  • Renee Simms-- writer, mother, teacher-- reminds us that sometimes, when it comes to writing, you just have to "jazz your way through."
  • Summer Reports: Nicole sang the Cave Canem Song; LeConte and Terri went to VONA and said it saved thier lives; and Felicia brought back the 411 from the Tin House Workshops.
  • Martha Southgate provided the "Director's Cut" of her NYT article, Writers Like Me.
  • Tara Betts gave a brief history of Slam, and a glimpse at the future of poetry.
  • And just last month, Sarah Schulman reminded us why everyone loves Grace Paley.

    Thank you, thank you, so much for sharing with us. I look forward to more group-love in 2008!
