The Poetry Blog Digest is on holiday

Poetry Blogging Network

What with my pipes taking half a day to unfreeze after last night’s cold snap, plus all the extra shopping I had to do to keep Christmas guests well fed, I just didn’t have the time to digest any blogs today. Hopefully a week from now things will be calm enough that I’ll be able to compile a two-week edition to close out the year. Merry/happy whatever, and I’ll see you then.
