“Screaming the Word” is part of a collection of poems (as yet unpublished) called Dialogues with Uncle Asinonymous. I am still working on the overall collection, and hope it will one day be in publishable form in its entireity.
A Blessing for the global metropolis is a part of a collection I am currently working on, and it appears in this most recent issue of Bakery of the Poets, a literary e-zine. I wrote about the e-zine in a previous post, including a link to a review of Yong Shu Hoong’s work that I’ve written and that also appears on the magazine’s website. I like the look of Bakery of the Poets, and I am very pleased that my own work has found a home there.
I want to introduce an exciting little online journal I’ve found — one that I hope is on the verge of exploding into something huge and amazing.
Bakery of the Poets is run (at least in part) by someone I blog with at another site, debergerac. She’s long been one of my favourite bloggers, as she always writes something that has some punch — and usually makes the reader think too.
The website she’s got going there looks like it is bringing us work of that same quality which is featured regularly on her blog here. Go take a look. Sign up as a member of the community there. See if we can support her efforts to build the best literary journal around, on- or off-line.
I’m especially pleased because I’ve got some things appearing in the e-zine for this issue, including my introduction to Singapore poet Yong Shu Hoong. I’ve been reading Yong’s poetry for some time now, and am pleased to see he’s garnered something of a reputation in Singapore. It is nice to be able to spread bits of information about his poetry here and there, and I appreciate Bakery of the Poets for publishing this introduction to his work.
