Last Post of 2011

AS YOU HAVE NO doubt noticed, I've pretty much stopped posting to TWR. Between my regular column for the San Francisco Chronicle's City Brights section and writing for the Huffington Post, I just don't have time to also keep up this blog. So, as of December 31, The Weekly Rader will go on an indefinite hiatus.

But, below I've posted links to some recent columns that would normally have run on this site.

• On Poetry and Politics
• Fellow San Francisco poet Matthew Zapruder and I interview each other
• On Philip Levine 
• On the notion of compromise

Thanks to everyone for your loyal readership! Happy Holidays and Rockin Two-Oh-One-Too
