Chairman Mao's Mistress (though I too could easily vote for more than one)

also Didi, can you make a tiny correction in my name, it should be Deirdre

I vote for Volant by Helm.

Unknown said...

this is tough. i like them all for different reasons! i don't know! pick a number, im serious!

Unknown said...

This is tough. The ones I like most are

Spokane-Hoerman

Though it seems more prose than poetry, (for me) it carries a lot of weight.

Volant-Helm

"but this is...and this is how"

The Girl God Cheats On-Deirdre

Unusual...highly creative

Aghhhhhhhh....

Volant is my choice.

Emily Lloyd said...

Nellie, volant, Mao's Mistress, and the girl God cheat's on walk into a bar. I buy drinks for them all.

Emily Lloyd said...

ugh. "cheats on"--I hate typos.

Stuart Greenhouse said...

Spokane gets my vote. I usually don't go for prose poems, but this one carried such a smooth poetic synthesis--the tension of the subject matter made the form poetry, I mean.

Steven D. Schroeder said...

The Girl God Cheats On

Michael Hoerman's Spokane coz it's probably more honest than all the rest.

LKD said...

The Girl God Cheats On.

Definitely.

Absolutely.

Emphatically.

What a helluva poem.

Unknown said...

Volant

Unambiguously

Unequivocal ably

Unmitigated

Unabashedly

, a great poem.
