Happy new year! As 2010 begins, here are two resources -- one national, one local -- recommended to readers and advocates of reading anywhere:
*Literacy Powerline, with which the Greater New Haven Literacy Coalition is affiliated http://www.literacypowerline.com/
*the New Haven Review http://www.newhavenreview.com/
Issue 5 of the New Haven Review made for eclectically absorbing reading on the London to New Delhi leg of a trip to India over the holidays. From fiction to poetry to a physicist's account of how http://arxiv.org/ has revolutionized his field, this still-new publication is well worth a subscription.

I want to alert readers to the passing this week of poet Lucille Clifton. I don't get a chance to read much poetry these days, but as soon as I have the time I will be revisiting Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems and Quilting Poems, my favorite Clifton collections. Lucille Clifton was born in New York, but spent a great deal of time in Baltimore, Maryland, my hometown. I think of her as a Maryland poet; indeed, she was poet laureate of Maryland for several years. I highly recommend seeking out one of her collections.
