November 16th, 2007 at 8:20 pm eThere ought to be comments here, so I will offer the appropriate one: Ana is an evocative, mysterious, strong poet. I have no collection of chapbooks, but even I sent eight dollars to Octopus to buy my own copy. Don’t be standing on the pier, waving frantically, when the ship pulls out. How will you feel when 88 people boast of their copy of DOCUMENT and you have nothing to cherish? Really! - Lars Says:

November 18th, 2007 at 3:17 am eI have flip-flops in a plastic bag, in the briefcase.
My swiss knife is lost to the desk drawer.
The coins in my pocket are in a bag now, with the keys.
Ready for screening.
8 bags of oolong, 16 of decaf green in the briefcase.
Also in the briefcase, a phrasebook, with entries like:
“From your hat, when you upend it,
your small family upturn their faces.
”
and
”
We’d play chess with white and red
roses): but it’s this hope that grows wars!
”
The alarm clock is set, and the limo called.
It is pitch dark, and I stand in the driveway with shades on. - Ana Says:
