Pseudomorph by Rebecca Hoogs
I feel like a Rebecca- like shape, like the real one has cast me off, spurt me out and left me to face her predators, like the real me is off enjoying her airpocketless body, while I stay behind going blotto, a so-so blurb on the back of a book, a blurry word. My beak… Continue reading Pseudomorph by Rebecca Hoogs
Into the Often Because

The piece is by Douglas Glover on his web magazine Numero Cinq. In the post Doug shares postcards and stories about the poet. Here’s my favorite.

The New Experience by Suzanne Buffam
I was ready for a new experience. All the old ones had burned out. They lay in little ashy heaps along the roadside And blew in drifts across the fairgrounds and fields. From a distance some appeared to be smoldering But when I approached with my hat in my hands They let out small puffs… Continue reading The New Experience by Suzanne Buffam
My First Chapbook is Out: Dear Red Airplane
My chapbook “Dear Red Airplane” arrived in today’s mail. It is published by Seven Kitchens Press. I suppose it’s both good news and bad news that it is already sold out. Seven Kitchens is a micro-press and they specialize in artful booklets in small print runs. If you’d like to request a second run, you… Continue reading My First Chapbook is Out: Dear Red Airplane

The Idea of Order at Key West
She sang beyond the genius of the sea. The water never formed to mind or voice, Like a body wholly body, fluttering Its empty sleeves; and yet its mimic motion Made constant cry, caused constantly a cry, That was not ours although we understood, Inhuman, of the veritable ocean. The sea was not a mask.… Continue reading The Idea of Order at Key West
