Waitress, Bookclerk, Bagger for Alli Warren So then the jar ships with the bees inside and there is something like a forest of berries, taught how to buzz by a reversion. Swill bucktooth. Imagine music without holy and dirty. There’s a tongue stuck through with a finger. It’s a wish for blame, a house party moon hanging just over the…

This just in from Summi Kaipa: Howdy folks! Just wanted to let you know that I have organized an event that explores book arts and features work by local and national practitioners of this nebulous (but satisfying) artform.

Sun Raise Bulb for Alli Warren All day four in the morning window concluding. Oblivion stories. Flick off bacon outbound and then head stand cover. Lap top sleep around. Twelve-tenths law. Paper box two pounds paper one pound. Hurry deaf double stack and cunning stunt. Keen pray kidney ears. Thick doom impedance after which pleased to have goring. O comp…
Jonathan Mayhew on the Pound question: If the question were about Frank O’Hara and someone said, “I don’t care about about Frank O’Hara” I wouldn’t have a heart attack, even though I think someone ignoring Frank O’Hara is unlikely to write poetry I’m interested in.
