Poetry! World Poetry Day is March 21.... and I am actually requesting poems from people to publish in The Link. Would you care to contribute? Or to send a poem or two for Black Heart (which I think shall make an exception for some poets on that day of days)?

I got your review but haven't edited it yet. I will get to that shortly, I hope. smile
valcapone:
I liked the first two. The Link basically will print anything, so it could be erotic or not. Hopefully we will have some interesting graphical layout to make it eye-catching, too.
genevalw:
i love the flow of it...amazing....
vasilisa:
I've been thinking about it for a while and I actually emailed the prodution staff to see if it would be realistic to try to put together and print an sg anthology. Doubt anything will come of it, but worth a try. If not then an online version should be pretty easy to put together, get people to submit through upc. I'll tell you what they say once I get a reply

vasilisa:
yeah ofcourse! how are you anyway? I just screwed up a cake by dropping the top layer so it broke frown tragic

valcapone:
Some.... what do they call them? Acrostics? Concrete poems? Yeah! Those would be neato.
brigette:
The only words that can come to mind to describe your work is the utter tangibility of it all. I can literally taste and feel everything.
brigette:
I would love to read your new passage!

she smelled of rose-water bubble-
gum, hot pink
phone pressed to the exact center
of a plump-plum lower lip

There is only so much I can do!
valcapone:
LoL. I know, that was the worst of all. At least the others were (mainly) meant sarcastically.
valcapone:
That line is actually an allusion to a poem by George Elliott Clarke called "Peggy's Cove" that I liked a lot.

Peggy's Cove

In pitched night fog, I stagger upon Fear--
Cabals of rock, wreckage, sobs of wet death,
Caterwauled epics of drowning, a salt
Nightmare--this dun, Expressionist Stonehenge
Of hunched and broken anarchic boulders
Heaped against the fierce, mad, dark Atlantic
By homicidal force that drove them there
In dumb, impaling anger. I tremble;
A blind roar suffocates the stars, a black
Hatred lathers this grotesque beach and howls.
I hear groanings like bones being smashed--and cries
Like infants hurled head-first against brick walls.
valcapone:
P.S. Your poem is up here! kiss
vasilisa:
thank you

oh dear god...what did you do to the wedding cake??
