Default Wendy V in Poetry

The April edition of Poetry contains a poem by Wendy, titled "!" If memory serves this poem originated with a Spherical challenge having to do with the phrase "Faggot Dinosaur." Wendy makes a good reply.

I'll see her this weekend at a poetry festival in Carbondale, Colorado. I intend to hug her almost to death (since I'm hugging for two in this case) then revive her with a kiss.

Dave

No, that's her old name. Cally's her new name. Some day I'll tell you her other names. (I'm still learning them. They are endless.)

Yes, it's wonderfully witty, and I am relieved to learn that Chanticleer survived his transgender surgery to become lesbianic!

Yes, read the poem yesterday! Nice job, Wendy. Love the twist.

I read it because I got 14 free copies of Poetry--they send out to reading groups and classes for National Poetry month. (You just have to send an e-mail!) Anyway, it was the first poem my students looked at--because of the "!" of course--and they said they liked it a lot. This is high school! There's hope! (Actually, my students are amazing.)
