[New-Poetry] litmag watch: shampoo

[jforjames at aol.com]

In fact, Blowdryer (or her editor) called them 'Two pieces'. The first of the two pieces had two virtues: It was short and approximately the last third to a half of it was a quote from someone else. 

The second piece, very early on, had this line which perhaps serves as a gloss:
"And then you’ll understand why I don’t usually explain what I mean. It takes too fricking long."

 Didn't find any poems of hers but have already forgotten what the first
 prose piece was about.  The second I tired of after six or seven paragraphs.
  She seems accurately to catch a contemporary young airhead's psychology and
 diction but what's the point?  Who cares?

Just a mild tease from me, Bob -- aside from its quality why isn't her
ork poetry? She says it is, and the "prose poem" is a recognized
enre.
As it happens, I agree - it's neither poetry nor interesting.
But since there's been so much talk of penises, what about Wayne
oestenbaum's contribution here:

 did kind of like these from Brian Teare (

he most part I was just awfully glad no trees were pulped for
hampoo.
