Introducing Rachel Olivier on Blog Tour Day, National Poetry Month

For April, the usual suspects on the Drollerie Press authors listserv conspired to write about poetry. This time around, I'm hosting Rachel Olivier, and she's hosting me. Her Drollerie Press manuscript is still in the production queue, but you can find her work in Electric Velocipede and Aoife's Kiss. She has a beautifully laid out and linked up list of her fiction and poetry publications here.

Rachel is impressively plugged in to the whole social networking phenomenon. I nearly fell over when she sent me the list of all the places where she had posted my essay. Her main blog is here. On livejournal, for your friends-listing convenience, she's raeputtputt, and you can find my essay on her lj here.

One of the funny synchronicities is that both of our essays mention Dr. Seuss as an important poet. I really enjoyed reading the story of poetry's place in her life and writing.
