Boise State University professor Tom Trusky dies

With Tom Trusky, it was always something - writing and teaching poetry, inspiring students through his book arts class, starting a new program, researching overlooked subjects, pulling a prank, or writing arcane e-mails in meter - he was filled with energy and creativity almost constantly.

Beth Adams and Dave Bonta of qarrtsiluni

Tuesday, December 01, 2009
Interview for Read Write Poem:
Beth Adams: "We felt it was crucial to run a fair and strictly anonymous contest, and have the winning book be of the highest quality, both in its online and print forms. We also wanted to recognize as many of the top manuscripts as we could, which is why we chose and published a poem from each of the 10 shortlisted chapbooks, with audio and an author bio. The work was stunningly good, I thought — I was often moved to tears while choosing these poems at the end."
