Friends, I think I’m going to start a newsletter. I’m having some fleeting thoughts lately, and you—or the idea of your existing—are going to help me fix and form them. Where to begin? I’m coming up on the end of my first year of this two-year fiction MFA program at Johns Hopkins. The poets on the poetry side have been reading a lot of published letters between famous poets. Bishop-Lowell. Emily Dickinson. A few others. One professor even assigned some of her own letters back and forth with other poets of the day which, hey, nice work if you can get it.
