Something Close to Beautiful

For the third year in a row the Inglis House Poetry Workshop will be producing a chapbook of poetry related to disability. The tentative title of this year’s chapbook, Something Close to Beautiful comes from a line in poet Paul Kahn’s prize-winning poem “Katharine’s Room.” Readers’ familiar with the high quality of the writing in the workshop’s last chapbook, Dancing With Cecil, will not be disappointed. If they are active readers in disabilities literature, they will notice names more familiar to them: Stephen Kuusisto, Jim Ferris, Laura Hershey, Steven Brown, Sharon Wachsler. The presence of these writers marks a slight shift in balance from talented poets who have written poems about disabilities to writers who live in. Something Close to Beautiful is scheduled to appear in early fall 2005. It is book worth watching for.

Hi, I think it's really wonderful that you have this blog going. I hesitate to tout my own poetry in this forum, but on the off chance that it might be of interest to you and your readers I'll mention it. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. The diagnosis, and the periodic disability which resulted from the disease, had a major impact on my book of poems, MS (New York: Spuyten Duyvil, 2003). I have not had an MS episode since late 2001 and do not experience any physical after-effects from the ones I've had in the past. So I don't think its fair to identify myself as a disabled poet, except as a measure of felt solidarity. But the poems in MS are, it seems to me, relevant to a discussion of "the poetics of disability". So, I thought I would make you aware of it.

"They're called toxic loans because they can damage your financial health. You end up being in a worse situation than you were before. This is bad news especially when your home is at risk."
Next year the value of the secured lending industry in the UK is likely to be worth more than �30bn.

Good-girl-turned-bad Britney Spears has topped an eclectic list of the net’s most popular searches
n the run-up to Christmas. The popstar,who hit the headlines last week for stepping out
“commando” with her new best friend Paris Hilton,has helped revealed exactly what the internet
savvy are looking for from their stars - the thick and the dead.

Part of the increase was accounted for by a corporate restructuring at a major UK bank, but lending to private individuals also grew strongly.
As well as the increase in net mortgage lending, consumer credit increased by 554m as customers returned to the high street.
