We begin the essay page with one regarding the 19th century poet A.H. Clough. It's presented by Joseph S. Salemi, whose essays on many topics, and on a variety of sites, have provoked thought, anger, laughter, and discussion for many years.  Of late, he's been writing extensively on poets.  For those, visit the late Leo Yankevich's Web site,  Pennsylvania Review, inactive but preserved we hope for a long time.

Joseph S. Salemi on Arthur Hugh Clough

We will be adding more as soon as invited contributors get manuscripts to us.
