THE FLEA, broadsheet no. 4Like the very best sort of vampire--not sparkly, not sappy, and juicy with blood--The Flea leaps onto the stage of the mortal world.

Your poem is a fun read! Paul does a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteYes, there's something about his Flea that is very refreshing!
ReplyDeleteKevin, I read the whole thing this morning and remember your loop-the-looping poem well--the happy knot, the fraying. Confetti!
Like gold to airy thinness beat. Love Donne.
ReplyDeleteAh, the cleansing memoir, sets everything right. I am in awe of your poetics, MY.
Hi there, James--
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you very much. How's the novel going?
Marly, I'd like to send you a book. Can you give me an address for this purpose?

Hi Gail--
ReplyDeleteWhat a very pleasant way to meet! Yes, I shall send you an address...
By the by, somebody just left a comment about my Flea poem on FB and also mentioned how much he liked yours. Me too.
And I peeped at your website and saw that you live in Breaux Bridge. When I was little, I lived in Gramercy and then in Baton Rouge.
Hi Marly! Cutting poem. How you disapprove! I like that you speak your mind.
ReplyDeleteI have written a couple more yoga poems. Perhaps you can suggest a good place to send a few of them?
Robinka,
ReplyDeleteChalk it up to a frisky moment...
Places to send. Okay. The yoga poems idea is pretty nifty, and I think you'll be able to place them. My suggestion is that you join the CRWOPPS mailing list, at which point you will be inundated with places to send, both new and old zines and contests of various sorts.

Thanks Marly. I am not yet finished the series, but I am investigating the idea of getting another yoga person to do line drawing and putting together a book. Getting someone to publish it is another thing though.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that you can publish some in zines and then do a chapbook bringing them together. It's a good idea.
ReplyDeleteOh, Robbi--
ReplyDeleteDon't know that I am especially disapproving... I just get carried away by the poem.
