From the rss reader, reposted from an academic blog I subscribe to as part of gathering materials for The New Faculty Majority blog from another part of my blogging life. They intersect periodically, just as Picnic here intersects with Mountainair Arts, which should happen more often, if only to remind local arts council of our existence. No doubt it will happen more now with Manzano Mountain Scribes occupying the same mountain IRL but not yet having a web presence of its own. Likewise, more intersection of the plog (here) and the academic advocacy blog (above) seems likely too. Many poets are academics; more likely than not, mostly ntt's or gta's. I'll save the essay on the history and changing nature of literary patronage for another outing.
