a poem that owes to Saint John of the Cross, Martin Heidegger, Jaime Saenz and the pomegranate.

I caught a title” The Taxidermist

and there is an older one:

this owes much to the words I found in a news article about another kind of immigrant deportation. I don’t know about my account on the issue as literary value, but the subject is worth a quick read and a thought…

Here is my contribution:

Jill, this is a great prompt, because it guides the writer consciously along the path of inspiration, and it allows us to honor the poets who have come before us, or who walk alongside us. Plus, I like how each poem I’ll read today will be completely different, coming from a unique source.

Shadow Boxing

OK, listen. This is not a poem, but it *is* a poem in process. Come watch it unfold. It unfolds slowly, though, so be prepared to check in over the course of hours. Or days. Or weeks. Probably not weeks. Anyway, here’s the link:

Faith in the Flesh

Thanks, Jill, for the prompt. I returned to a poem by Bob Hickok from the May 17 New Yorker which inspired my project “50 States” and I wrote a new one today, “50 States of Optimism.” My blog has a link to another poem in this project I did as well as a copy of Bob Hickok’s original inspiration.
