New work appears in the summer issue of Goblin Fruit. Many thanks to Kate Durbin for her help in revisions.
New to the poetry blog scene, Alex Gallo-Brown has started Poem Box: A Community Forum for Literature and the Arts. Check him out, help him out, leave him comments! His brother just had a wonderful show at a community center in Ravenna and you can see some of his photographs that Alex has posted.
There are some things chasing around my head about timing and mis-timing, but it hasn’t settled yet. Things seem to be in starts and stops lately. Jubilant trip to Wyoming follows with spilling two pounds of black beans on the floor of the PCC. I don’t know how these things connect yet, but they must. I’m currently reading Jeff Encke’s Most Wanted: A Gamble in Verse. By reading, I mean playing. It is a deck of cards, and I hope to play rummy tonight with a good friend and see what transpires. I forgot until this afternoon that Jessi once dreamt about a deck of poetry cards and Juan Felipe Herrera’s workshop.
I’ve been casting my own cards about for a while now. How have I been in Seattle since October?
Is Goblin fruit off of the goblin market poem? I bet spilling the black beans was tragic and funny and gasp-inducing all at once. Did you have to pay for all of them? I picture them skittering all over the place… that sucks.
Thanks for the shout out. It was nice to meet you the other day. And by all means, send me a poem or two. I’d love to see what you’re working on.
