CREATIVE COLLOQUY

Today was a Creative Colloquy day. Today was a Troy's Work Table day.

My erasure poem "Funeral" was published on the Creative Colloquy website. You can read it HERE. The boxes prior to the words are intentional, although they are rendering differently depending upon the web browser and/or device. (Which I really like. It injects a bit of play into the poem.) They are placeholders for Melville's missing words, phrases, and sentences.

I read five poems at tonight's monthly Creative Colloquy ZOOM Literary Gathering. Three recently written interrelated body poems: "The Saint of Second Street," "White Noise," and the aforementioned "Funeral." Two August Poetry Postcard Festival poems: "Molt" and "Tree."

And the work of the other four readers was stellar.

It was a great day filled with the beauty of language and laughter and story and conversation.
