Central Avenue Then & Now

Good mail day: The editors Dale Harris and Merimée Moffitt, of an old zine I used to publish in long ago—so long that I didn't even remember some of my own poems!—called Central Avenue, out of Albuquerque around the years 2001-2006, decided to track down as many of their old contributors as possible and ask them to submit new poetry for an anthology. The result, called Central Avenue Then & Now, features at least one poem from the old zine and one new one. 

 

I'm honored they tracked me down and let me be a part of it. Makes me miss New Mexico! I was there, in Santa Fe, from 2001 to 2003ish, then returned to the area as a fire lookout for 2015-16. Old poem: "Devil's Canyon Fire." New poem: "Cerro Pelado Lookout Mid-August."

Poems and Fragments by Elise Cowen

My review of Elise Cowen's Poems and Fragments up now at ENTROPY. Cowen is an almost forgotten part of the Beat Generation, almost lover of Allen Ginsberg. Her story and poety are both interesting:

I had time

I had    time

to

play more songs

pack my bag

            outside

            to walk

just breathing   the rain

      singing

a white dress

checkered tights

            next

crossed                        legs

            in

cool drops

inhale

her blues

swallow them
