All about Poetry

All about poetry by, or inspired by, the Brontë sisters:

1. Rita María Martínez's poem "St John Rivers Pops the Question", included in her recent chapbook Jane-in-the-Box, has been nominated to a Pushcart Prize.

"Saint John Rivers Pops the Question" was originally titled "Saint John Rivers Pops the Question on Jane Eyre." The poem was originally published in the American Cuban issue of the literary journal MiPOesias (March 2008).

2. And several recent additions to the catalogues of several independent publishers:
