Jerome Rothenberg, one of my favourite living poets and movers&shakers in ethnopoetics, now has a blog: http://poemsandpoetics.blogspot.com/ It is rich in information and creative sharing. He announced its presence on another list, so I quote below part of his invitation to view:
The following anyway are the last ten entries on the blog, poemsandpoetics.blogspot.com, and will be followed in the next couple of weeks by further previews from Poems for the Millennium, volume 3, and by contributions from Pierre Joris and Charles Bernstein, among others:

(end quote)
Elsewhere, in 2002, Jerome Rothenberg said: We proceed in the spirit of Gertrude Stein, often quoted by me: The exciting thing about all this is that as it is new it is old and as it is old it is new, but now we have come to be in our way which is an entirely different way.
