Default The Interpreter's House

Pleased to report that I have a couple of prose poems in issue 81 of The Interpreter's House.

No spoilers, but one of them features a Komodo dragon.

I had really been looking forward to your having a book coming out, Matt. Now I'm not so sure.

No spoilers, but people who read these will see that that's actually a compliment.

Thanks Julie!

And thanks also for saving me from the ignominy of sliding down this forum unreplied to!

Sorry I'd missed it the first time. It's been an unusually busy couple of weeks for me.

Yes, these are neatly done, Matt. I don't always linger over prose poems, but I enjoyed these.

Wow Matt, these are so tightly written. Not one sentence comes close to making sense, yet together they form a perfect whole. It makes me want to stop trying to make sense so much.

Good prose poetry!

These are lots of fun. I especially enjoyed "Talk Show." The host was right! You have a book in you.

Martin, David, Jim, Roger and Susan,

Many thanks for reading these!

Jim,

"Not one sentence comes close to making sense, yet together they form a perfect whole". I ever do get it together to put a book together and manage to find a publisher, I think I'd like this quote for the book-jacket
