Though the holiday season is the most hectic time of year for all of us, I nonetheless wanted to share an exciting poetics blog I recently discovered called How a Poem Happens that is quickly becoming one of the best poetry sites online.  Edited by Virginia poet Brian Brodeur, the weekly updates feature a sample poem by a prominent American poet and a basic set of interview questions that often lead to surprising answers about craft, revision, and inspiration.  Harvey Shapiro, Kathryn Stripling Byer, and Mark Halliday are the most recent among an impressive roster of contributors.  So if you get a spare moment among the hussle and bustle, check it out!
