by Patricia | 6.04.10First off, frequent WIZ contributor Karen Kelsay invited me to submit poetry to her online poetry journal Victorian Violet Press, where I’m the featured poet for her summer issue. Victorian Violet Press also nominated “The Pear Tree” for a Pushcart Prize. Thanks, Karen!
You can hear me read “The Pear Tree” here.
Second: If you’re one of the few folks who haven’t yet visted the British Petroleum live spillcam, click here.
Scroll down to “Live feeds from Enterprise” and click into either ROV 1 or ROV 2. After a series of failures, beginning with the failure to plan for catastrophe, BP has placed a cap on the stub and is in the process of closing vents in the cap. The petroleum giant is now pumping oil onto a ship but details are sketchy at this point. Warning: viewing the live feed can become addictive, rather like watching an aquarium gone horribly wrong. One or the other camera may go off-line from time to time.
