This week we welcome back Sally Ashton as our guest blogger. Sally Ashton’s new prose poem collection, Her Name Is Juanita, (Kore Press) will be out this summer. Her work appears in the
forthcoming textbook anthology, An Introduction to the Prose Poem (Firewheel
Editions),
edited by Brian Clements and Jamey Dunham. She is editor of The DMQ Review, an
online journal featuring poetry and art since 1998. She teaches at San Jose State
University in California and maintains her own blog here. Welcome, Sally.

We're pleased to welcome Eleanor Goodman (right), who will post over the next several weeks from London. Eleanor Goodman writes fiction, poetry, and literary criticism, and
translates from Chinese. She has lived in Shanghai and Beijing, and now
resides in Boston. Read Eleanor's first post here and find out more about her here.
We're also thrilled to announce that in addition to Ken Tucker's brilliant culture reporting, Larry Epstein, whom you already know for his popular Dylan Watch, will begin a new column, Larry Epstein's Culture Watch. In Larry's words, the new column will explore "neglected
American cultural figures and creative efforts, the people, art, books,
magazines, movies, music, performances, radio shows, and television shows that
have been unf
airly forgotten, underappreciated, or overlooked." He's hoping that readers will comment on his new column and offer suggestion for what forgotten person or
effort ought to be included.
