Today we welcome Angela Ball as a guest author. Angela teaches in the Center for Writers at the University of Southern Mississippi. The author of six volumes of poetry, most recently
Talking Pillow (University of Pittsburgh Press), she splits her time between Hattiesburg, MS and Covington, LA with her two dogs, Miss Bishop and Scarlet.
Welcome, Angela. –sdl
Angela will be writing about what she terms "the New York School Diaspora": poets who, though they may live in Florida or California, Chicago or Boston, have absorbed the influence of New York School poets (Ashbery, Koch, O'Hara, and Schuyler) and done noteworthy things with it. Welcome, Angela. — DL
