TalkingWithYou_ebookcover.jpg

talking with you in the dark

In another haunting collection of lyrics that first appeared on social media, Robert Letters narrates four sequences of conversation. But these conversations are curiously one-sided, and the reader must decide who is speaking, and who, if anyone, is listening. Each short poem is an independent work, but also an integrated component in a set of mysterious patterns.

Recipe for Garum

Garum was a pungent fish sauce made in Roman times from the leftover parts of many different kinds of fish. These poems embody the pungent quality of garum in three sections: a series of lyrics that investigate domestic life; a long narrative poem, Canal; and a sequence of short poems, mostly haiku and tanka, that chronicles a year of a domestic life.

Help Keep Out Project

 

On February 16, 2015, I started posting a short poem every day on Twitter. Often the poems used Asian forms, or were derived from Asian forms. The title of the sequence is Help Keep Out Volumes 1-5. This project continued until October 22, 2019 resulting in a 1,700 peom series.
