I mentioned james tate...
If I recall correctly, I mentioned that I had been doing some work based on the prose poetry of one of my favorite poets, James Tate.For my favorite poem at the moment "Young Man with a Ham" go here.
This is the one that started it all... the lunacy, the raving, the gratuitous cooking of vegetables.
I'm off to find one of my latest poems so that I can retranscribe it here... it's called "Office Work" and it has some of the following
-telephone calls
-a midget
-a boss who has had his pants stolen
-a wise secretary named Mary
-elevator doors that close on noses
It will be up for your viewing pleasure soon enough.
But for now... I must go.

i found your blog by searching "bad poetry." instead i got the j.tate poem about the ham. wonderful stuff. my favorite one of his is in the voice of jesus, which ends with something like "heck, i love everybody." it's a perfect poem.
cheers, sj
