Notes on recent poems. //
“Sideview” began as a dream I had, the night after reading Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar. Since then, I’ve been spending time with her posthumous collection, Ariel. - What a voice.
“Δ” is pronounced delta.
“Δ” contains at least one allusion to the title poem of Ariel.
“Δ” began as a dialogue between Homeric monsters. Not sure what it became. I think it cut me off from social media, though.
“Δ” also borrowed a few words from this entry on Exeter Riddle 82, by Adam Roberts. Inadvertently, it might have become some kind of erotic expansion of Exeter Riddle 82.
Maybe: poetry is the erotic expansion of previous poetry.
Listening to I’m the Drama, Cardi B’s new album. That diss track, ow. Love this strength, this vulnerability. I remain an unapologetic fan.
“Δ” might be weird sisters with “WAP"—but way more dissy.
