Yesterday & Today

Northwest Poetry Forum

It's all inside: Back from beyond the grave, saved like so many black men, by the cell phone camera judge and jury, in this case it is the microphone in the phone which allowed me to pull the sealed, never opened cassette from my book case and play it in a boom box right into the phone, then the magical software that makes it all hearable in your gearable watches or speakers that talk back and car things what let you listen to books on tape. Now, deprived of bars and cafes and anywhere else to read, poetry springs forth like a babbling brook full of king salmon, spewing forth, not dying on the rocks, but continuing to insist that our story our outlook our, perspective is shared with whomever we can get it to. As so many books have given way to building materials and toilet paper and paper towels, here then is a paper free way to get your poetry, The Northwest Poetry Forum is here to Play, I mean, to Stay.
