What you do, Dave, is a lot of what keeps poets together. At least they might see each other, which is so helpful. As a community we are so much stronger than we are alone.

Thanks for including me this week! I wanted to share that one question I got from a visit to a university poetry class was why I still have a blogroll and how it relates to the importance of poetry community. I got to talk about how these things still exist and aren't owned by evil corporations!

Thank you for including me - I was surprised to see so many of us writing about horror and horror poetry this week! I always think I'm the only weirdo that likes whatever weird genre. And I want to buy that guy's "Space Princess" chapbook!

Microsoft's Azure and Google (less used) web services are still options. It's hardly a one-company show out there. I think AWS is perceived as easier to use, but no one is using the redudancies they should to keep their sites up. That's hard! And costs money. Sigh.

Everyone who relies on just one platform or cloud - in this case, AWS - is going to be screwed if any small part of it goes down. I recommend diversifying and backing up, but gigantic companies aren't asking me.

Oh, and sorry, class of 91. I would argue this is why I became a feminist. My little brother had a freshman English professor who assigned all female curriculum, and reading his curriculum was an enlightenment.

Books I was assigned in junior high and high school by women: Awakenings by Kate Chopin. Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. No Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, or Brontes. When I asked to do a book report on Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, I was told that was "bodice ripping trash" and not allowed. Cool.

This is why I'm considered a serious literary critic, btw.

Didn't Diane Seuss say "pee" in "Song of my Heart?" I say go for it!

Thank you for including me in this write-up, Dave. I always enjoy reading, and for this reason: listening to other poet's voices gives me hope.

Thanks for including me, Dave. Good questions being asked this week.

I would argue Charlotte Bronte walked so Daphne du Maurier could run.

Thank you for the shoutout!
