If you’ve found any of UD‘s posts on poetry – of poetry – of interest, you’ll find at the link a systematic presentation of her take on the form.
UD is quoted in today’s Bloomberg News on the Yeshiva University disaster.

…it’s been hacked. I’ve cancelled the account. Meanwhile, if you’ve gotten strange messages from it, ignore.
… and it’s not that readers and friends haven’t been sending me, over the last few days, all sorts of fascinating stuff. It’s that UD has been flinging herself from one event to the next today (interviewing Fulbright candidates, taking a student out to lunch, being interviewed about MOOCs by eCampus News) and is now tired.
