Dawn Levitt is doing a lovely job reviewing chapbooks and full-length poetry collections this month on her site, From My Heart to Yours. These are thoughtful reflections on each work and are a meaningful contribution to poetry.

I want to call attention to things like this on a regular basis: poets whose efforts support other poets and poetry as a whole. (I tried to create an acronym for it, but all I could come up with that PoSUPo, which doesn’t quite work, so no acronym for now.)

This is a form of “calling on,” which I discussed yesterday. Contributions like Dawn’s call on all of us to consider ways we can support the community, whatever form that might take for us individually and collectively. I know many folks are PoSUPos already, I’m not supposing otherwise. (See what I did there? With the words? Fun.)
