It is a great site. It would be ashame to let it go. Why not get some help from freelancers to run it part-time? Or talk to the folks at Northern Poetry Review, or rob mclennan, who could certainly fuse some of his massive blog into this site. As far as I can tell, online literary criticism in Canada is up, and being used by a lot of small press publishers to help promote poetry titles post-launch. It’s a great domain, clean site, maybe you just need a masthead influx? I’m sure if you asked around, people would chip in. Nathaniel G. Moore Danforth Review

What kind of help would you need? How many hours? Etc.

I have the same questions. Also, I agree with Mr. Moore, people would be willing to help—maybe get the word out on other sites or listservs (is that a word?).

For example, if Nick Thran, myself, rob mclennan, Evie Christie and a couple of others created some sort of collective that worked with the site, taking the pressure off of you, and we commited to a certain amount of reviews, we could run it as a (not officially, but I’m sure there would be no problem) sister-site of Danforth Review… We get so much poetry anyways, that it would be cool to perhaps, and I’m just putting the idea out there, create an online poetry review imprint in Poetryreviews.ca for TDR… Just a thought… I think people are willing to get behind you, just let us know how.

I think this site has been a great resource, and a terrific opportunity to get the word out on some books that might otherwise slip between the cracks. It’s not something I’m able to commit a ton of time to, but I’d certainly be willing to pitch in here and there as part of a larger collective as Nathaniel has suggested. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. n.

I appreciate all the responses so far, and I apologize for the lack of response. I’ll try to respond with more details when I can. In the mean time, enjoy the recent reviews!
