Have Poem, Will Travel.
I wrote something of an Ars Poetica for Dan Waber’s project. Ten points to the first person to note who I’m imitating, or rather, what poem my poem follows. Or you could get a review copy of my book, if I can make it to the post office during this lovely Spring Break; it’s tres difficult though, so you might just have to settle for a virtual pat on the back at the moment.

April 3rd, 2007 at 8:54 pm eI enjoyed reading “And Ut Pictura Poesis Calls Her Name,” Amy. Wonderful piece. My favorite lines:
She persuades, sketches, or merely snakes through
The backdoor the audience forgot to spot long before.
Of course, there are many rusty hinges, all with equal access.
Thanks for posting the link.
