Poetry Update – October 29, 2019

I’ve once again begun work on Teeth From The Tiger, starting to pair photos with some of the poems; as they appear here at Pathetic.org.

My main priority remains the processing of older work, and much to my horror and delight, have discovered a cache of poems, in a box in my basement. Included in these, are the 1988 version of The Fireman’s Field, which appears in A Well Placed Mess; thought I had lost it. At some point I would like to input, as is, for comparison to the 2019 version, and possibly even post here.

The other happy discovery is the original full version of Awakening, in Enter Every System. It’s actually titled, After The Flood, and does have some similar elements to After The Flood in Connecting The Dots. A much larger poem in its infancy, at the time of the great reorganization (1997), I decided to take the strongest, most focused portion, the last stanza, and turn it into what became Awakening, as the second opening piece in Enter Every System.
