[New-Poetry] What Has Happened To Poetry Magazine

[Anny Ballardini]

                pray your last prayers
              you of faith
            sin your many sins
          you of sins
        fast your last fasts
      you of fasts
    that the world is gonna shut down
      yeah
    the world is gonna shut down
      visual it is gonna be
        you heard me right
      visual and tremble _yeah
        you of little faith
          you of big faith

      Grumman the Laureate thus said :
Visual and Tremble
Tremble and Visual

  Dr. Peter Venkman: This magazine is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. 

  Editor: What do you mean, "biblical"? 

  Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Editor, real wrath of God type stuff. 

  Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly. 

  Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! 

  Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... 

  Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave! 

  Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

  I couldn't keep the latest news to myself: Poetry, having opened their temple to language poetry in a substantial way, is now going to do the same for . . . visual poetry. I may even get a poem into it, however hard it may be for me to justify participation. Actually, it's not hard: I believe making my work available to as many who may appreciate it as possible is more important than making some literary-political point hardly anyone will know I've made.
