Ars Poetica

We all need something
Clearly beyond words

To put dreams together.

Zukofsky's Last “Poem Beginning 'I'”

I swear I’ll never write another but
Should I try, cross my heart, let me lie.

Research Regarding Poetry and Driving

Recently received: A great New Year’s gift lovingly sent and signed by my old friend and author, John Levy. Half a dozen new prose poems in a three-color foldout from Bob Arnold’s excellent Longhouse. Reminiscent of Michaux at times but without the French writer’s pervading sense of terror, these pieces are Levy at his unpredictable, whimsical best. Highly recommended. Available in both signed ($15) and unsigned editions ($7.95).

Deconstruction

Near brimming candlelit cemetery
Under a waning winter moon—

Ring of barrels emptied of lime
Next to an ashen shovel, light.
