Chekhov's Mistress
Poetry is Good for Poetry
by Bud Parr
Adam Kirsch, author of The Wounded Surgeon, in the NY Sun (“Poetry Magazine’s Rebirth,” December 20, 2005) on Poetry Magazine:
But the real news about Poetry today is in the pages of the magazine itself. Under its new editor, Christian Wiman, Poetry has done what long seemed impossible: It has reclaimed its place at the center of American poetry. More, it has become one of the most interesting literary periodicals of any kind published today. Traditionally, only poets read Poetry; thanks to Mr. Wiman’s innovations, it has become indispensable reading for anyone who cares about American literature. And the numbers show that the word is spreading: Today the magazine’s circulation is at 27,000, up from 11,000 since Mr. Wiman’s first issue in October 2003.
