Three whimsical poems by Wayne Koestenbaum, "The Bitter Tears of Alexander Scriabin," "Archaic Awe," and "Dossier of Irretrievables" appear in the AWL's Poetry Section this week. Here's a shot of Koestenbaum's spontaneity, or you can have a big gulp here:
"Archaic Awe"
My name is Bossyboots.
Liza Minnelli chose me for audience
participation guinea
pig. On a pad
I doodled
Fallopian detours. Later
Liza escaped on a daisy-
festooned tangerine
bike, handlebars
shrink-wrapped, while eating a water biscuit.
