What is the first book of poetry you see when you scan the room you are sitting in?

60 Poems by Charles Simic

If someone let you loose in a bookstore with a crisp $100 bill, what would you do?

head for the Poetry section, then the True Crime section

Three poets find themselves in a rowboat, in the middle of the ocean, during a huge storm. How do they get themselves out of their predicament?

They make a plan. Then they revise it. Again and again, until they’ve sucked the life out of it. Then they drown.

  • Therese–You’ve got it! I wish I had a prize for you. If you haven’t tried an anagram, I recommend doing so. They’re great fun, rather addictive, and really force you to think about word choice and line endings. Also, they of necessity result in some cool sounds.

  • Diane — is your ”Pleasure” in the form of an anagram poem? That is, all the end words in the poem’s lines are derived only from letters in the title word. I found the term ”anagram poem” on failbetter.com. Congratulations on your recent publications!

  • Maybe on the Writer’s Almanac? Thank you so much!
