From course description: Students will read poems and short plays, analyzing for content and technique. Students will compose original works. Students will critique each other’s works for content and technique. Prompts will be provided but will not be required. Students are encouraged to go on their nerve with regard to the work they will compose.

I forgot to post this one back in September. This prose poem was featured as a broadside in the 9th issue of the Hampton Rhoads literary zine, Penultimate Peanut.  

Grateful thanks to AvantAppal(achia)  for including two experimental poems in their new winter issue. One, "Mixtape..." is meant to be read track to track, so to speak. Track one of one side goes with Track one of the B side, etc. The other "Fireman Down" is written for two speakers. I've had a lot of interest in these multi-voiced poems from editors etc, but the formatting is a pain in the %^&$. Editors beware indeed. Happy New Year!
