I love Laura Elrick’s tough, frustrated poem in The Poker.

Other things I have been reading lately that I really like:

Nick Piombino’s Theoretical Objects (awesomely observant & permissive)

Clare Pollard’s Bedtime (really adept audenesque rhymes that just miss being doggerel!)

Sparrow’s Yes, You ARE a Revolutionary(hee. hoo.)

Jules Boykoff’s poems (the ones beginning with lines from other contempoets)in the new Combo

Barbara Cole’s poem in the new Combo

Alexei Kruchenykh’s Suicide Circus (inventor of ZAUM! — trans. Jack Hirschman)

It’s 3 in the morning! I drank too much black sesame-flavored tapioca tea in Flushing. Must try to sleep. And perhaps, just perhaps, I will get around to talking about some the works I just listed.

But I feel like answering some questions.

I will take questions now.

Oyasumi nasai!
