Sounds a lot of fun, Peter. It's much too late now to embark on a Christmas pudding for this year anyway, so I'm sure your recipe will be timely for 2014. I like the idea of a poem being 'committed' rather than 'written', 'composed' or whatever. Love the Denise Riley quote and look forward to more from you. best Aidan www.aidansemmens.co.uk >________________________________ > From: PETER PHILPOTT <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Sent: Thursday, 12 December 2013, 9:47 >Subject: "Within These Latter Days" being blogged > > > >Dear ListMembers > > >firstly apologies for cross-posting & self-advertising (no one else'll do it for me), but you may be interested that I am presenting a long poem sequence (100 or so texts) in a blog format, ie a poem a day (roughly, allowing for public holidays, time & tide &c). It is titled "Within These Latter Days: a poem committed against purity, precision & perfection". There is a programmatic gallimaufry of forms/constraints/recipes: whatever you what call them, including actual recipes. I regret the Christmas Pudding (a particularly fine recipe) will occur post-Christmas, but I wanted to launch the blog on the occasion of tonight's POLYply for, on, of?
