I’m hoping that someone with time and savvy steps up to take over the responsibility of maintaining daily publication of POETRY BREAKFAST, which announced its impending cessation this morning.
A while back, they went from daily poetry to 4x/week, alternating with interviews, lectures videos, etc. Still, though, it’s always been well worth checking out every morning with that 1st cup of coffee. And free, in you email. What more could one ask? They even published me about a month ago: “Fly Away Home,” a love poem for My Beloved Sandra. I don’t recall a single day I was disappointed with anything I’ve found there.
Let’s hope someone out there is ready to take over brewing that giant cup of coffee they feature at the top of the page.

it’s always a small death when a good site goes under, for whatever reason. damn
For the same reasons that it is closing, I decline the temptation to jump in. But Poetry Breakfast will be missed.
Ditto. Everyone has such busy lives.
