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!

Here’s my “in your face” poem:
http://throwshiswords.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/poem-face/
Here’s my contribution. It’s inspired by a face I’ve known for some years that belongs to a life I’ve always suspected is tinged with a certain loneliness. But I digress…
Along the Lines of Her Eyes

Oh, and it’s way late but here’s my food-related poem for last week’s prompt: the return
This was one of my earliest poems, but one that I’m most fond of.
This is my contribution. =)

I’d like to think I’m saving up my poetry juices for NaPoWrMo or maybe for spring…it’s been a dry month poetically (not for prose tho!)
Or it could be I’m lost in the poems by detainees from Guantanamo as I prepare to read a few next month with fellow poets and peace activists.
Anyway, it’s not my face but someone else’s here:
“Wounded by the Strangeness”

Mine kind of statres at the face:
