 | What happens to a writer's notes in cyberspace? - Joelle Biele in the November-December issue of The American Poetry Review offers a fascinating examination of the papers of poet Elizabeth Bishop. |  | Will CNN's Reporters Miss the Great Fulminator? - Everyone who appeared on that show was tarnished by his use of his guests as stalking horses for his preconceptions.
