A warm welcome to DNL 26 and 27: Kevin McCollister, a photographer who says he wants "to photograph L.A, all of it" and has made a great start with his book East of West L. A., and a very talented artist from Vienna, Laura Tedeschi. Thank you both for coming on board.

The "Perfect" Poem
—for William Michaelian, again
Of course we know there is
No such thing but
If there was it would be
How
Shall I say it?
Wise
Beyond words.

Huuklyeand Cinquor on Devious Marketing of GM Foods
You perverted Monsanto
Sodbusters just keep on
Swallowing this bull
Shit and ya’ll be corn
Holed
By the Grim Reaper.
Moderator’s comments: Well, now we know where Cinquor stands re GM foods; still
The question is: how does one hold an apple
Who likes apples
And how does one handle
Filth? The question is
How does one hold something
In the mind which he intends
To grasp and how does the salesman
Hold a bauble he intends
To sell? The question is
When will there not be a hundred
Poets who mistake that gesture
For a style.
—George Oppen, “The Gesture”

Ties That Bind
—for Eleni
O
Beautiful the unbounded
Clichés, the limitless
Vows of lovers, the ties that keep
Darkness light-years away from girdling
The unbound earth
In a single leap.
