Poems to Peruse

From Ruby Street:

snapshots project
I've been involved in a great project as part of a list I belong to, poetryetc. It's called snapshots and entailed list members writing a 'snap' of where they are (physically, head-wise or whatever) at some time in the world each Wednesday. The greater part of the second iteration (sorry, I like that word) is archived, many thanks to Rebecca Seiferle of The Drunken Boat fame, on a special page on her site. Earlier snaps from this round are archived on Randolph Healy's Wild Honey Press site. The Wild Honey site also features an earlier iteration (yeah, OK) of the project which ran in 2001.

I have been a member of this list, too, for a short time, and have found this Snapshot exercise useful for priming a dry pump.  There is something freeing about "snapshot" vs. "photograph" -- no imperative to be masterful (mistressful?).

You won't find any of my poems at the Snapshot site (at least not yet), but you will find some at fieralingue, in the Poet's Corner, here!
