Tuesday of each week “One Poet’s Notes” highlights an excellent work by a poet selected from the archives of Valparaiso Poetry Review, except when other posts with news or updates preempt the usual appearance of this item, with the recommendation that readers revisit it. Please check the sidebar to view the list of poets and works that have been past “Poem of the Week” selections. Additionally, readers are reminded that VPR pages are best read with the browser font preference in which they were set, 12 pt. Times New Roman, in order to guarantee the stanza alignment and the breaks of longer lines are preserved.

I am very new to poetry (my background is science and math) and am just now beginning to tackle poetry and take it seriously. Recently I have spent time with Shakespeare, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, and most recently Edna St Vincent Millay.
Have you highlighted Millay on any of your Tuesday posts (after I post this I will search your site).
I really enjoy your site.
And the more poetry I read, the more I feel that the Obama inaugural poem was severely lacking. I have not read anything else by that poet; I wonder if that was representative of her work.
In solidarity with research paper writer services, you may compose more appealing research articles with attractive titles!
