Newish site, - still under construction:

[SOteric]

http://edgewise.org/Edgewise.html

I'd appreciate your feedback and constructive commentary.

P.S. I know, there's no return link on the last page. It's not integrated with the rest of my site yet. The whole set of pages is due for a complete overhaul in the next 3 days.

1. .

edit: Thanks for fixing link. :hi:

[SOteric]

2. Ooops. Typo. It's working now.

Sorry.

[GOPisEvil]

3. That's hard-hitting stuff.

It makes me appreciate life here in this country, even with El Chimpo in charge.

[SOteric]

6. I know what you mean.

I think that amoung the things that world travel has given me, is a deeper appreciation of how good we've got it, even when we don't have it so good. Griping about traffic nincompoops seems petty in comparison.

[jono]

13. I agree.

It's easy to get caught up in how bad things seem here at home. The poetry you've shared helps me put some of my more trivial concerns into proper perspective. Sorry, I don't have more to say.

[SOteric]

[HEyHEY]

15. All right

I do so love dabbling in the medium of spam!

8. Attempt at constructive commentary

Personally, I think the color contrasts (green, blue on black) are difficult on the eyes. OK, my eyes are old but it's MHO. Excellent content.

Edit. sp.

[SOteric]

11. Thanks, I'll look at that

:hi:

19. I too have a hard time with black backgrounds

But otherwise, it looks good.

[ulysses]

10. have you read

Carolyn Forché's anthology Against Forgetting? Very much in the same (deeply admirable) grain. Thank you for this.

[SOteric]

12. No, I haven't - but I will!

Thanks uly!

[ulysses]

18. it's hefty

Good, anyway, for those of us odd enough to spend our browsing time flipping through something titled "Twentieth-Century Poetry of Witness
". :D

16. Nice site

Loads just fine for me.

Do you mean, by the way, for everybody here at DU going to your site to learn your full name?

[SOteric]

17. Most

folks I know well here know it anyway, but thanks for clearing that up for the few who might have been confused.

[TXlib]

21. Sorry -- didn't mean to draw attention to it.

Just wanted to make sure you knew it was there.

[BritishHuman]

20. Powerful and moving

It really helps you to realise how much worse it could get.
