| | it is what it is
60 hours of work
and a murder somewhere down the street
unintentional
there's a line of people waiting
to hear their voices die
in front of an audience
there to bear witness
and the poet has a stroke
in his living room
clutching a book
that no one has read
because he never reviewed it
not that anyone would have cared
because no one reads any more
right?
And so begins my train of thought just before bed. Really, I just wanted to write something here. Anything. Because I've been working 12 hours a day 7 days a week and I'm still trying to keep my small press (Polymer Grove) running... "Her Delicate Shoe" by Jane Crown (www.janecrown.com) will be available at the end of this month. Taste the language:
The heart of a person
His iridescent memories, tucked in
Ivoried words, songs, dinners,
Piano concertos
Velveteen kisses on shaded verandas--
Trees we plant;
(from "The Soul Tree")
She's quite brilliant and the book is well worth your blood money.
Also, being re-released in February is Miles Miniaci's "Maps & Legends."
The mix is concrete on "Corporeal Landscapes" and I'm currently in the process of designing the packaging... yes, I do that too. Stay tuned for that one...
Further still, for those of you in the Sacramento area, Jack Hirschman, Sharon Doubiago, John Bennett and Jane Crown are reading at Luna's Café (1414 16th St.) on January 24 at 7:30pm. $10 at the door, $7 with flier.
