The Poetry Bomb

The Poetry Bomb is a former U.S. military practice bomb. The artifact will be completely converted into a beautiful object filled with poetry from around the world. When finished, it will have a primo paint job just as if it were a classic car, complete with pin-striping. It will also have a window or portal that will open and close making it possible to not only see inside of the piece, but to take poems out at performances to read out loud, and to add future submissions. Once converted, I will take The Poetry Bomb on tour across the United States, and then, who knows? Plan on beginning the tour in late April of 2010.

It was mentioned in The New Yorker and I hear it may be making a stop at Chez Fouquet in New Orleans.

  1. La libbra di carne e il Jouis dell’artificiera

    La deflagrazione fallica nell’acting out che ha come resto l’oggetto a,la libbra di carne,è questo che l’osservatore dell’Avalokitesvara percepisce,l’immagine della alterità radicale dell’artificiera che si fa oggetto a sovrano nella sua più pura assolutezza anonima, perché passa al meridiano come analemma esponenziale del fantasma del poeta e con il peso atomico dell’angoscia, la libbra di carne, come il peso dell’artificio che è esploso, un qualcosa che sta tra 300 e 500 grammi, una libbra, la deflagrazione fallica dell’acting out ha fatto esplodere la libbra dell’oggetto a e l’artificiera dell’avalokitesvara ha ordinato al poeta Jouis.
    L’angoscia è questo, non è vero che sia senza oggetto, esplode quando nella cornice emerge l’heimlich, “opera sempre chiudendo il labbro, o le labbra, del taglio dei significanti”, che fanno del mondo una rete di tracce, nel cui solco del reale l’inatteso, la visita o la notizia sono il pre-sentimento che la libbra di carne dell’oggetto a sta per farsi analemma esponenziale, sta per passare al meridiano, al milieu du ciel, dell’osservatore, e quindi nella traccia cancellata del suo fantasma.

Perpetual Poetry: Words Inspiring Words, a review

"Reading Karen Lillis" copyright 2014 Kristin Fouquet Perpetual Poetry: Words Inspiring Words a review of The Paul Simon Project by Karen Lillis I have a confession to make. I am not a poet.  I write fiction and I believe writing poetry is a completely different process.  I love reading good poetry, but I am in no way a poetry scholar.  These are the reasons I usually do not review poetry chapbooks.  The Paul Simon Project by Karen Lillis is only my second exception to this rule. Influenced by Simon’s words and music on the album Still Crazy After All These Years ,  Lillis duplicates the song titles for her poems in this collection. Some follow a similar  path as the subject of the song; others venture in their own direction. The album’s title song inspires a poem which mimics the melancholy and  sentimentality of the original. Yet, she pumps it up with a contemporary  edginess and gender reversal. In “M...
