Thanks, TPS. Instead of blogging, the Forum would be a logical platform to discuss matters pertaining to poetry, eg, new trends, ideas inviting feedback, etc. Just one question: Would it be accessible to the public to comment, or members only? Fresh voices/opinions to old conundrums might be welcome.
