4 poems

I have four poems in the April 2008 issue of Bakka Magazine. The journal itself is chock-full of great reading and art this month. Do check it out. Some of you might recognize a couple of poems from the Quarter Poems series, though they have gone through a few changes.

Happy National Poetry Month!

Dreams 57 - 60, Love 61 - 64

Dreams 57 - 60, Love 61 - 64

Quarter poems have been shipped out. Some of you subscribers got your January (Dream) poems before they arrived at the Twilight Tea Lounge. I hope you’re enjoying them. The February (Love) issue should also be reaching you within the next few days.

And since it’s 2008, why not add a little flash? They $1 packets include new color inserts for a slicker package. Check it out and tell me what you think. That’s 4 poems for $1. A pretty good deal.


In case you’re keeping track, the series list continues as such:

#57 [dream124]
#58 squids and disappearances
#59 [dream 907]
#60 for my parents (comic with Colin Tedford)
#61 your wings, how they carried me
#62 in 10 years I will leave you
#63 it’s not you, it’s me
#64 in the beginning

I haven’t updated the list on the website for a bit, but soon it will reflect the record.

Glad to be a Gladiator

I've got my poems set up this month on the retro-fitted cigarette vending machine here at the Langdon Street Cafe called The Gladiator. I've heard of one other, somewhere in Northampton, MA. Instead of cigarettes, this machine sells handmade art, puzzles, pins, zines and ... Poems!!! Yay! I'll put up a photo once I take it. There is also a "Mystery" selection which will net you any of these choices.

$3 gets you your choice. My poems are in a handmade box, carrying March Quarter Poems, and a random selection of back stock, as much as could get jammed in the box without the box jamming in the machine.

Brattleboro Folks! April poems are on their way, to celebrate National Poetry Month, in pretty little purple/pink packages, just for you! Pick yours up by the end of the week at The Twilight Tea Lounge, or Everyone's Books.

March Quarter Poems: Vernal Equinox

'strue! March Quarter Poems have been sent down to Brattleboro. Pick yours up at The Twilight Tea Lounge. If you have a subscription at Everyone's Books, please pick up there. These four are vernal equinox themed poems.

#45: "wassail" -- originally written at a wassail party in Marlboro where everyone blessed the apple trees with an original poem.

#46: "I hate spring for its caterpillars" -- a fun poem inspired by one I'd read years ago in Green Mountians Review about slugs and marigolds. They day after I printed these, I had a dream about caterpillars.. :(

#47: "hair newly cut is a flirtatious dress" -- some of you might remember this and the night I wrote it in writing group.

#48: "falling song" because when I can't come up with a title, I usually call it a song. Included because despite Spring's approach, about a foot of snow recently fell on my house.

All poems are 25-cents individually, or $1 for the quartet. If you're missing specific numbers in your collection, I can customize a packet for you, let me know.
