I just finished my abecedarian hay(na)ku suite. You can check it out on my blog. I don't know how long I'll leave them up there. You can print them up and make your own dam book, that is, a backed up river of a long poem into some kind of reservoir: a meditation on (what else?) love, and consequent consequences. Each letter is a character which represents something; there are clues scattered throughout as they were revealed to me. Kinda like weegee board poetry, the Spirits spelling it out for me as I tell, telling me their poems.
Hey, it's late.
If you print them out, you could use my Amazon pay system to throw me a few bucks, as did Eduardo Corral (thanks!) which enabled me to buy the cartridge to print them out for myself; or, send me your book. Yeah.
This suite will most likely appear in my new book, now nearly complete, entitled Una poca de gracia/ Bit of Grace, poemas y antipoemas de amor.
Buen provecho!
