Our last poetry anthology of the month is another beauty from its cover photo through to the very last page.
Many of the poets you've met in the other two anthologies can also be found here. To purchase, click on the link below, where Ryme and Rune: Poets of the Miami Valley may be puchased, either online, of by mail with a check using the downloadable form. https://mainstreetragbookstore.com/product/rhyme-and-rune-poets-of-the-miami-valley/ Here is one of two poems of mine you'll find within: Ars Poetica Tell at least one lie in each poem. Steve Kowit So, every poem needs a lie, on which to rest, stork-like, while the other foot tests the waters? Though come to think of it, the bird is already in the water, is it not? And already the poem slips away, ungovernable, ungraspable, gone, gone to a place where large water birds wade in the shallows fixing you with a gaze both insolent and dismissive. So perhaps every poem requires, not lies, but distraction, a poke, a prod, a bright spot of color on the periphery, some sudden noise - say, a grunt, a hiss, or the rattle and snap of a muster of ciconiidae bills, long necks lacking the muscles necessary for syrinx to produce birdsong. And your song? Not what you intended at all. But song nonetheless. Happy reading!
