CPRW Review: Broetry
Today is the formal beginning of my critical relationship with the Contemporary Poetry Review.
Many of you may have noticed, if at all, that there have been no reviews since February. I have actually written three reviews since that time: they will be appearing at the Contemporary Poetry Review.
The first is here: a review of Brian McGackin's Broetry.
Enjoy!
Though I don't foresee reviews continuing to appear here, I will still weigh in on matters large and small. Thank you for your support of me as I began my foray into reviewing.

Footnotes and Ebooks
So the New York Times presents an interesting question today:
What will ebooks do to footnotes?
The author laments that footnotes being relegated to endnotes is destructive. I agree.
But HTML has shown us what needs to happen with footnotes: hyperlinks. Now, this isn't yet possible in all ebooks because all ebooks aren't for presentation on touch screens.
But they will be.
Solve the problem now, even with the clunky cursor system of the Kindle and you get folks used to the idea of hyperlinked footnotes and expecting that sort of interaction when capacitive touchscreens are the norm in ereaders.
