galore

My poem “Ghazal of the Sharp Knife” is up in the summer issue of DMQ Review.

As a draft, this ghazal was called "Ghazal of the Honed Knife," but that was unnecessary. And the end-phrase was originally “of her,” but with all that -oom going on, “of him” worked better. And in the end the knife as a man in the kitchen is an interesting man.

But does he resent it?

I like the poem!

I've been talking about writing a ghazal for years now. I really like them but I'm intimidated! I think I just have to do it and not think about it.

Lovely, lovely. Ghazals fascinate me, but I've yet to make one work on my own.

Love it. I'm glad I read it before I saw the Daily Show, Isabella Rosellini, and the bedbug...
