Procrastination Station #37
Links of the week!
A new poem from Carol Ann Duffy // Duffy: I can still write better // Duffy and Fanthorpe // An amazing tour of all our Poet Laureates… in pictures // AL Kennedy on the inspiration to write // More on JRR’s new poems…
…and yet more! (Sorry, Tolkien fangirl).
A roundup of Carol Ann Duffy articles from recent days.
I love the guerilla literature of altered books.
Can you do something you love, and screw paying the bills, really??
I love this mad writing space from Sitting Pretty.
Found online this week: ONS newcomer Regina has a lovely poetry blog! // and she was featured at Bolts of Silk recently, too // a handful of stones hosted former RT-er Chloe Waterfield, and former Featured Poet Tom Rendell // Tom has also started an essay blog, check it out! // former FP Phoebe Salzman Cohen caught the attention of ONS regular Phillipa // and two sad and beautiful new poems — Conversation with Allison and Telephone Call to Christopher — by former FP Heather Bell.
More movie trivia!: Big Fish and that movie that all the emo kids have commandeered.
A good argument in favour of Totally Stylin’ Barbie.
and believe it or not… this is an ad for Scrabble!
Have a great weekend! x
Don’t forget to visit the One Night Stanzas store & The Read This Store!

Oh, thank you so much for your special mention! Really, I am quite flattered!
I am so enjoying your blog here- it’s helped me in so many ways already and really enlightened me to a lot of new poetry- poetry that I think a lot of us in the US might miss out on!
Hope you are feeling better- and thanks again!
Now I am off to click on all these other linkies!
Thanks again.
