COMMENTS ABOUT BOSTON AREA SMALL PRESS AND POETRY SCENE:

Founded in 2003 by poet, teacher, editor, journalist, reviewer, and overall impresario Doug Holder, this serves as a model “alternative literary” site dedicated to building, reporting on, and promoting a local literary scene. In this case, while centered in Somerville, MA, the scene is that of greater Boston, which Holder boosts as the Paris of New England.  His first affinity is for beat poets, but he celebrates a generous range of local poets and fiction writers, many of them nationally known.  --DEWITT HENRY ( Founder of Ploughshares Magazine)

"He (Doug Holder) has created one of the finest websites for information about the Boston area literary world and beyond..." Fred Marchant, PhD. Suffolk University, Boston. Director of Creative Writing/ Director of the Poetry Center


"Everyone at Ploughshares is a big fan of your blog." --- The Ploughshares Staff


"...nice blogging site...really good looking and elegant...it's the nicest one I've seen--it is filled with interesting stuff, and beautifully laid out. I will have to click on more often" Kate Snodgrass/ Artistic Director/Boston Playwrights' Theatre


" ...with genuine admiration, I have been following your synchronized and synchronistic wonderous broadcasting of news about poetry and poets." --Nicomedes Suarez- Arauz ( Professor of Spanish--Smith College)


"The articles you send make me feel in touch with the

"Higganum Hill Books" had the pleasure of nominating Sarah Getty's "Bring Me Her Heart," for the "James Laughlin Award," in part because of the fine review in Ibbetson."- Richard Debold ( Publisher of Higganum Hill Books.)

Hi Doug,

I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your editing and presentation of our interview on your blogspot. You worked a little alchemy on my mumbling and made it intelligible and even at times intelligent. I'm indebted to you. Thank you very much.

-Alfred Nicol/ Winner of the Richard Wilbur Award.


"Wonderful interview by Doug Holder. For too long the influence of Charles Plymell's poetry and the important work of the Cherry Valley Press has gone largely unrecognized." ( poet Rod McKuen)

"I've always found your blog informative and a good way of keeping up with poetry in Boston." ( Brian Wilkins- Scarab Magazine)
