Trying to find poems I want to submit Many journals don't accept until Sept. I need to create new packets to send out along with SASE's Because of the need to submit, I won't post poems to my journals anymore... but rather keep notes on my readings: Pattiann Rogers: Dream of The Marsh Wren. Beautiful, although she repeats herself, in mode and conceit, she does it well. The notes on process are interesting although not particularly helpful. I will have to give it a second read in order to determine more what I think. Li Young Lee- The Winged Seed- Moving account of his childhood with his father who was an Indonesian Political Prisoner, and then in the states, a minister. Often told in dreamlike prose reminiscent of his poetry. Loren Goodman- Famous Americans: Loren just won the Yale Younger series prize. He works with a strong wit spoofing poetic conventions. One poem is a mock chronology of Benjamin Franklin's life, another poem is a filmography of Max Von Sydow. He intersperses his high brow jokes with more conventional poetry, but often his nuttier stuff like "Who Would Win" and Werner Heisenburg, stands out. His mastery of parallellism and irony shine through. |
