Apples and Ink Angels

Into my hands today popped a copy of Ink Angels. Edited by Kevin Watt and Elizabeth Neilson, it is an anthology of two hundred or so poems, out of more than four million on the web site allpoetry.com, picked ‘as examples of having a profound perspective’. “Reading them,” says Kevin, “will take you to a lovely place.” I mention this because my poem Apples, written back in 2007 is included in the anthology. It’s among a wonderful collection… from my point of view it’s worth buying because it contains Don’t ask by L A Smith, who is one of my favourite poets of all time, yet so rarely is she published that she remains barely known outside a circle of friends. Put Ink Angels next on your wish list, after Lupa…

so much for learning etruscan.
i got books to read.
What, no more thoughts of sitting opposite someone in a pavement cafe, gazing into her eyes, taking her hands in yours, and whispering, “Qutun zamthic… qutun zamthic…”?
‘qutun zamthic” eludes even the google shortcut.
it’s the lost tapes of apollo 13.
you inspire cafe exploration!
It might mean ‘golden pitcher’ or it might not.
either way,
i’m reminded of sidd finch and that’s a cranberry,
a golden cranberry taste,
sour and sweet and a french horn in between.
so i thank you.
sidd finch as a story was spectacular and still lingers
and people canceling their SI subscriptions added some hilariousness.
I just signed up with them the other day! 😉 On Sep 20, 2012 11:05 AM, “Marie Marshall” wrote:

Have fun there. It’s the biggest bowl of poetic soup in the known universe. 🙂
Waiter, waiter! There’s something that rhymes with soup in my soup.
LOL! You guys bring a smile to my old face…DW
