Rob A Mackenzie has been nominated for poet laureate of the blogosphere! Thing is, he says he doesn’t want it, which is tough, ’cause I’ve never heard of the other nominees. I don’t know much about what the accolade entails, either. First I heard of it was when Ron Silliman said his stint was now

Looks like the 100 Poets Gathering at StAnza was a pretty incendiary event! You can catch up with some more of what went on at the festival with Rob Mackenzie’s series of StAnza postings at Surroundings. Rob, a fellow HappenStance poet, read at a pamphlet poets event this year, as I did last year. He

1My recent visits to the HappenStance site have revealed that a lot has been going on behind the front page. The publications and chapbook reviews sections have been completely overhauled, with a very swish look and a good deal of new features. 2 The website of Chapman, the grande dame of Scotland’s literary magazines, had

Spurred on by Kevin Doran’s reflections on the different linking habits in poets’ blogs on either side of the Virtual Pond, I’ve added a couple more links that should have been added yonks ago. Chief among my neglections is Kathryn Gray‘s blog. I say “chief” because it was stumbling upon this blog ages ago (and

I’ve been finding my Feedburner feed and site stats quite fascinating reading. Most interesting of all is coming across hits from the blogs of other writers I don’t know who’ve linked to me and therefore said blogs and writers, whom I might not have known about otherwise. In the past few days, I’ve found Ron

I have taken my first faltering steps into the world of feeds today, not only by subscribing to the feed for Rob Mackenzie’s blog Surroundings, but by subscribing to Feedburner and installing a nice big button for the feed from this blog. Here’s hoping for a feeding frenzy …

I’ve added a couple of new links to the “Faith” section: Foundation is an emerging church group in Bristol in which a friend of mine is heavily involved. The site has some basic information about the group and links to blogs by Foundation members, but consists mainly of intimations of events. Perhaps Virtual Theology is

I’ve decided to start a blog in Scots as well as this one. You can find it here.

I have just this afternoon discovered that Alasdair Gray has a website. As anyone who knows Gray’s books would expect, it is illustrated in his distinctive style. It also contains poetry, plays, interviews, biliographies and a fragment of a storyboard for an “intended screenplay” of Gray’s most famous novel, Lanark. Gray also has a blogspot.

I have just discovered that a colleague of mine has a rather intriguing blog, entitled “More than you needed to know“.

Dave Martin, who’s mentioned in this post, is about to embark on a year-long art project beginning with a trip from Egypt, through the Levant and into Eastern Europe and culminating in a show at the Royal Scottish Academy in 2007. You can follow his progress here.

Roddy Lumsden has reviewed HappenStance and its publications for his blog on the Books from Scotland site. This is what he has to say about Tonguefire: My favourite of the bunch is Andrew Philip’s Tonguefire, a selection of careful, image-heavy lyric pieces dealing with the domestic and the numinous. I first encountered Philip, who now

I’ve just added a link to the blog Diary of an Arts Pastor, to which a friend pointed me. Interesting and encouraging stuff for those who’re interested in the intersection of (Christian) faith and the arts.

Mars Hill, the blog of fellow Subway member Paul Burgin has a link to and post about Tonguefire. The main focus of Paul’s blog is political, so I’ve linked to it under “less literary blogs”. Under “Theoblogical/Emergent”, I’ve also added a link to Paul Thomson’s wee beautiful pict blog. Paul’s theological/ecclesiological musings are consistently stimulating,
