Wow. Yesterday the front page photo in our local paper was highlights from the annual kid's earthworm races behind the library. I noticed David W. a few times in your book jenga. Have you read "Mystery Train?" I *heart* his rock n roll sonnets.
Earthworm races? Oy....How do they get jockeys? pa dum ching! You've got to love the sheer oddness of small town newspapers sometimes.I love "Mystery Train." It's one of the few books of po'try I give as a gift. I admire his use of form to serve the poem and not the other way round.
