Almost exactly a year ago I wrote the post below. Well, I’m thrilled to say that you can now read my “dragonfly tornado” challenge poem, “Pantala flavescens,” over at Hunger Mountain online. And what’s more, after you read the poem, you can read a short interview with me! Be sure to stick around and see what else they have up — the Hunger Mountain team has been a dream to work with, I’m so happy my poem found a home there.
This poem won me a mini-library of new poetry books from my friends, and now this. Forgive me if I’m a little too pleased with myself. It won’t last, I promise.
very cool!!!! congrats!!
Marie, Enjoyed your poem–especially the ending ; )
Hope you are doing well–I miss our class : (
Thanks, Carolee!
Jeff, me too! I grew to depend on that back & forth conversation, the give & take, all too quickly! I’m so glad you come by here — you don’t keep a blog, but please, when you have news, share it with me, I want to celebrate too!
Loved your poem and an interview!
Great poem. Loved the secret embedded within.
Lovely poem (my personal favorite lines: “second strings plucked/mid-air and mouthed, off-key.”) and I enjoyed reading about your process, too. Congrats.
A beautiful poem. Congratulations!
Aw, thanks so much, guys!
You should absolutely be pleased with yourself! Great piece, Marie 🙂
Thank you, Victoria!
