Wave Books is an independent poetry press based in Seattle, Washington, dedicated to publishing the best in contemporary poetry, poetry in translation, and writing by poets. The press was founded in 2005, merging with established publisher Verse Press. By publishing strong innovative work in finely crafted trade editions and hand-made ephemera, we hope to continue to challenge the values and practices of readers and add to the collective sense of what’s possible in contemporary poetry.Tumblr (3.0; @wavepoetry)http://wavepoetry.tumblr.com/<a href="http://www.lorineniedecker.org/documents/Bookmarks20132.pdf">Friends of Lorine Niedecker, Inc. made these bookmarks you can print and share</a>: <p><blockquote class="link_og_blockquote"><a href="http://www.lorineniedecker.org/documents/Bookmarks20132.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.lorineniedecker.org/documents/Bookmarks20132.pdf</a></blockquote></p>http://wavepoetry.tumblr.com/post/50605882592http://wavepoetry.tumblr.com/post/50605882592Thu, 16 May 2013 18:24:50 -0400lorine niedeckerpoetr<a href="http://nyulocal.com/on-campus/2013/05/07/the-weirdest-tweets-from-nyu-creative-writing-professors/">The Weirdest Tweets From NYU Creative Writing Professors </a>: <blockquote class="link_og_blockquote">NYU’s creative writing program is one of the most distinguished in the country.
