Yes, it has. And the newest samples were revealed this morning. These newest posters, DART says in a press release, feature Texas poets Joaquin Zihuatanejo, "an award-winning poet and teacher who captures pagan and Christian influences in the duality of his Chicano culture," and Natasha Carrizosa, whose "poems spring from her dual heritage of African- and Mexican-American." Work by Dallas poets Martha Heimberg and Jerry McElveen are also included. Comments (0) Leave comment

| E-mail entryThe entry "New DART poetry revealed" is tagged: DART , poetry Alert correspondent Bill Marvel passes along this Washington Post piece on The Fate of the Sentence. Among the signs of doom, writes Linton Weeks: "In a survey, Internet language -- abbreviated wds, :) and txt msging -- seeping into academic writing." Says Librarian of Congress James Billington: "I see creeping inarticulateness." "This assault on the lowly -- and mighty -- sentence, he says, is symptomatic of a disease potentially fatal to civilization. If the sentence croaks, so will critical thought. The chronicling of history. Storytelling itself." Comments (1) Leave comment
