Al Maginnes, a fine poet based in Raleigh, N.C., is the focus of this week’s blog How A Poem Happens. I’ve admired Maginnes’ work for a long time and even worked with him briefly when I was a managing editor at Spectator Magazine (the precursor to today’s Metro Magazine), so I was especially pleased to see him turn up online here talking about the genesis and the process of writing his poem “What Maps Will Not Show.” Definitely worth checking out!
