March 17, 2010 | 11:37 am“The new math of poetry is driven not by reader demand for great or even good poetry but by the demand of myriads of aspiring poets to experience the thrill of ‘publication.’ “
So says David Alpaugh (along with a lot of other thoughtful things) in “The New Math of Poetry,” published last month in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

- it’s a wrap: last stop on our (virtual) tour of molly gaudry’s ‘anatomy for the artist’
March 15, 2010 | 3:28 pm“I was physically drained by this poem. I understood it on my terms. If a poet’s innovative craftsmanship with form, word, sound, imagery, metaphor, can show me my own bones, then I want to read more of that poet’s work.”
Just a snippet from Wanda McCollar’s response to Molly Gaudry’s electronic chapbook, “Anatomy for the Artist.” Look for the entire post on Synecdochic Stuff and find the rest of our tour, below.
The first stop was Donna Vorreyer at her blog. Next up was Catherine Fitchett at Poetry Chook, Lawrence Gladeview at Righteous Rightings and Ren Powell at More Babel.
You can find complete information about this chapbook and tour here, including a link to where to find it and read it for yourself, online.
Next month’s tour will start mid-April. Don’t miss it!

We thought it was a fire, but it turned out to be a False Alarm
Thanks for the inspiration. Here’s my Quick Story.

Yay – I’m back from the writer’s block that was mid-NaPoWriMo!
You’ll find mine in this post:
Tony On Treaty, Data, Will
Enjoy.
This is called “Faye” at http://disorder1313.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/faye
I took a bit of liberty with the prompt, but suffice to say she was not Immaculate.

Thanks!

Here’s my poem, “Mama Said”:

A voice I wasn’t expecting came and told me a tale…
A Brief Lesson from the Wife of Jesus
The last poem in my Mass Cycle:
Agnus
Dei
I have three blogs: Writer Reading, Poetmouse, and Short and Shorter Still which are all inter-linked. The assignment made me think of Nested Stories, a story within a story, where someone in a story is told a story by another, which I think is a richer form than simply saying that “I” heard a story. Here is a short-story that could also be viewed as a prose poem that illustrates my idea of a nested story.

Short And Shorter Still: Nested Stories
Finally, I did the prompt! Here it is:
