March Madness in re college hoops be damned!! Here’s some April madness for the reading/writing geek brought to us by Powell’s—the top goddess of all bookstores and the place I often dream of being locked in after hours. Powell’s is sponsoring the bracket of all bracketing with their April (the cruelest month) Poetry Madness. The categories are as follows: Living Poets, Dead Poets, Poets in Translation and Pacific Northwest Poets (what can one say, Portland and Powell’s are nearly synonymous). The method for their bracketing choices is explained here in an appropriately tongue-in-cheek manner.
I’ve made my first round picks, if you’d like to participate in poetry’s version of clash of the titans, hit the link to Powell’s page and don’t be shy about leaving me a comment below if you want to do a little head to head with me! When they move to the next level I’ll share my picks for this initial round. There were a few brackets (pretty much the entire PNW) that I did not select because I was unfamiliar with one or more of the poets.
This is surely the only bracket exercise I’ve ever been thrilled about. Let’s have some fun with this!
