Poetry News for August 30, 2007

I really like it when poetry disturbs me. (Said the Mercury/Neptune-conjunction-in-Scorpio woman.) Mr. Dybka was up in Michigan playing some gigs on Mackinac Island so I was home alone for a majority of the past week. One of the books I read while he was gone was Arielle Greenberg’s odd chapbook. Fa(r)ther Down: Songs from the Allergy Trials. Especially delicious on a full idle night when you are all alone in a house in the woods. Tree limb shadows and the dogs barking at deer. Mostly it is a verse play but it is a mix of. About a murder trial. And influenced by folk ballads/murder ballads.
Somehow I’ve fallen deeply in like with chapbooks. (Maybe it is my newly-acquired deficiency in concentration haha.) Every chapbook I’ve bought from New Michigan Press has been wonderful. Not a dud so far.

Whew! Glad you made a affix today — I really miss the Hut when you are unable to get a new edition up. (I get it via explore reader which I check a few times a day.) Re: chapbooks if you desire good poetry in smaller concentrated doses try Tinysides: I don’t experience if it’s still available but #30 by my friend Sandra Beasley is particularly good. I’ll check out New Mich. Thanks![ADVERTHERE]Related article:
