Daily Notes on Poetry & Related Matters

28 December 2004: I'm in St. Petersburg today and tomorrow, celebrating Christmas a little late with my cousin Sue, so don't have access to anything much I can write about here. I gotta post a daily entry, though! So, something from my friend Surllama (aka Kevin Kelly):

dwrench
This is from Ampersand Squared, Geof Huth's anthology of pwoermds that my outfit, The Runaway Spoon Press published this year. For me, "dwrench" beautifully sums up what a wretch is. But much else is there: the fortuitous mix of almost absurdly unrelated tactualities, one having to do with wet/dry, the other with the feel of a wrench, and machinery. Not to mention the feel of a wrenched muscle. . . . There's a haiku in the text, too, for those who might want one to be there, one about a rained-on monkey wrench.
