First a piece of advice. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, don’t sweep the sidewalk. My eyes are the size of golf balls.
Somewhere between Arts & Letters Daily and The Literary Saloon, lies Andrew Johnston’s The Page.
From Johnston’s personal Web-site:
Andrew Johnston is a New Zealand poet whose books are Birds of Europe (2000), The Open Window (1999), The Sounds (1996) and How to Talk (1993), which won the 1994 New Zealand Book Award for Poetry and the 1994 Jessie Mackay Best First Book Award. In 1995 he was New Zealand’s representative at the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program. Since 1997 he has lived in France, where he works as an editor for the International Herald Tribune.
I first found The Page through a link at the Contemporary Poetry Review, an online journal. I’ve had the site in my personal aggregator for a while, but for some reason didn’t have it on my blogroll.
It seems like everything Johnston links to at The Page is particularly interesting and he also links to new poems available on the Web on the right hand side of the site (I don’t think those show up in the RSS feed).
It’s well worth checking out if you aren’t familiar with it already.
