    10 ~ Universe Deck
    Apr 1 2025

    It’s National Poetry Month 2025! So you’ll need your Personal Universe Deck — à la disembodied poet and playwright Michael McClure—to generate your daily poetry prompts! I outline McClure’s complicated formula and share my own break-the-rules method for generating 100 glitzy words that sound fabulous together AND embody my past, present, future and sensual nature. Poetry is for rebels, after all.


    Tune in all April long for daily Breakfast Poetry livestreams — including poetry prompts from my Personal Universe Deck—at:

    7 ~ Cursed Poet! Dino Campana
    Jun 25 2024
    Though NOT the idiot described in “Brief Lives of Idiots” by Ermanno Cavazzoni, Dino Campana became an subject of fascination when I read the segment, “The Poet Dino Campana”—wherein a university student coasts through every oral exam by mentioning that he comes from the same town as the poet—thereby distracting every professor into long discussions of the beloved Campana! And oh, what a cursed poet, our dear Campana! Let us dive into the mesmerizing visionary verse and tortured life of Italy’s treasured poet, Dino Campana! Poetry Prompt for 10-sided dice: Poetic Mood = Smoky Summer Evening Poetic Word(s) = Rotting Smell Go ahead!

    6 ~ Disembodied! Poems for Wandering Ghosts
    Jun 22 2024
    Let’s get disembodied in our poetry! Shuck your constraints, poetry freaks, write freeee! In a colossal spurt of vainglory, I read from my new collection, Disembodied! Poems for Wandering Ghosts, available now–a found pile of verse blurted onto paper, nearly all in one night, if I recall. That is what happens in life’s wiggy, liminal moments when you’re not quite certain you belong anywhere. Plus! A brief look at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics! Have you gone breathless at the very name? You are not alone. Disembodied: Poems for Wandering Ghosts https://a.co/d/0hB23Edn https://www.naropa.edu/academics/schools-centers/jack-kerouac-school-of-disembodied-poetics/

    Alone on purpose! Bohemian-Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke tells us how to become the poet (if indeed we MUST). Let’s go on a little adventure with “Letters to a Young Poet”—solitude! Love is difficult! Beauty is everywhere! ALL is gestation and birthing! Got poetical doubts? Make those doubt prove it! Ok, I will…right after I whine a little! Rilke!
