I just read through maybe half of your poems and really enjoyed the rich images!

Comment on Anti-Apocalyptic

Hi Amanda,

As a subscriber, I love your poems. They never seem to post when I'm in a bad mood. And that's a lot of the time. So, I like it. I'm assuming your speaking voice is peaceful, but reading this poem, I think it would be very intriguing (sp?) would you dub a piece by Bach under a reading of several of your poems. Of course, I call dibs for publication on listenlight :-)

Actually, my on again off again friend Phil Primeau picked up the alpha signal of your poems in the issue 01, & talked about your peaceableness juxtaposed before vaguely apocalyptic phantasmagory.

What do you think about this?

You do have an MFA. I know you can splice two audio tracks :-)

All best,
J

Ah, how I remember the days of crazy thrift store sales (including a trip last year to Value Village on the day of it's big sale - the line went all the way around the store and took 30 or 40 minutes to get through).

I love "nobody told me until late in my 20s" and "married women began flirting with me" as super-compact story telling and the way people really talk. The title really captures the feeling of some hint, the mystery of when sexuality is hidden like that, when the whole reality is just barely below the surface.

I love the way the mention of sex creates an intimation of a story between the he and the she. I love the way the rhyme of "show" and "own" wraps it up for me. It's a winner.
