NYQ 64

is now available & chock full of poetic goodness, including interviews with Marge Piercy & David Lehman & a parody of Richard Hugo in the sestina, "Degrees of Hell at Hattiesburg." Those in the know may recall this poem appears in Nearing Narcoma, winner of the 2003 Main Street Rag Poetry Book Award. If you'd like, I can tell you a bit about the history of this poem, as well as share a few thoughts on my manipulation of the sestina form, which, for entertainment value, features a gratuitous car chase through San Francisco & a Paris Hilton cameo. However, if you'd rather read the new NYQ, it's now available.
