Congratulations, Kasper! joodles -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of kasper salonen Sent: Friday, 20 April 2007 5:45 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: publication! I will soon be able to call myself a published writer; my poem "herald" is going to appear in the next issue of Fuselit (www.fuselit.co.uk), a uk-based magazine. I'd sent one poem to the editor previously, but after discussion we decided it didn't fit the issue's theme (each issue is based on a catalyst-word); this was written with a deal more of vision & intent than the previous piece. so here's a peek at my first ever published poem. the themeword of the issue is NUDE. HERALD a skeletal birch is the spirit of patience when a city wind terrorises it into a deviltree: a support pillar of the moon made a gallows for plastic bags¯ it has to wait till summer for its pact with the bay's seaweed vault of palettes to save its branches from whips, and its nude roots & limbs from homicide¯ it has to wait to be herald to the flower of the sun. now painting this halt: a transforming gunshot star soothes the skyline to tigerlily, bids goodnight the peering city with a silent burn of colour: my lover's outstretched leg glowed & she laughed¯the plastic bags glowed like hell's prototype rainbow & laughed, blowing about like candles.
