Deep Cleveland Poem o' the Week

I'd been wondering what ever happened to the Deep Cleveland "Poem o' the Week," since the PoTW archives over on the Deep Cleveland site hasn't had anything new for a while. (Nor the older archives, either.)

Well, I'm not wondering any more-- turns out the poems are still coming, but Deep Cleveland guru MarkK had simply moved the PoTW over to Facebook.

Mystery solved! So, if you want your Deep Cleveland fix, head on over to the Facebook for the "Poem o the Week" page.

--by the way, while you're over at Facebook, you want to hit the Kattywompus Press page for some poetry as well.

Covering the city with lines

Back in 2001,

when I launched deep cleveland, I began a weekly web feature called the poem 'o the week. The idea was simple: to publish a poem about Cleveland every week. I considered it an extension of d.a. levy's mission to "cover the city with lines." Well nine years later, I'm still doing it. Many of the poems that have appeared have been submitted by the deep cleveland tribe of poets, and many have been written my me, but i have had contributions from all over the country. It seems like every poet who once lived here or still lives here has at least one poem about their fair city. I would like to encourage anyone who has written a poem abut Cleveland to submit. Next year will mark the 10th year of continuous publication, and I would like to put out an anthology. If all goes well, I will have 520 poems to choose from. If you have a poem about Cleveland, send it my way, care of mailto:markk@deepcleveland.com
