"A Eulogy for Dirty Stella" by ginamarie lobianco


A superb poem by ginamarie lobianco (reprinted with permission). I thought as I first read it that a  fading lopsided typed 'Form' never suited subject so wonderfully...Verisimilitude can be hard to detect at the best of times but to find her Stella like this, discarded among cds, cigarettes holes and
toilets, is remarkable, indeed. I haven't felt like this in a long while.

My Typewriter Is Erotic (too)

unexpurgated pdf
form a-while ago...

neat way blended the old fonts/thoughts in a (sort-of) new combination....

interpenetration a way to extend any particular
particle of "dust" into infinite possibilities...

Ed, Vassilis,

isn't it curious that a young (iPhone generation) poet can be resurrect an 'old' technology to bring us back to Kerouac

The "infinite possibilities" still of a type-written page

Dear C. I stumbled over this swipe at your views and thought it be of interest to you . It comes from a foolish American believing he knows whereof he speaks.
