Fruity-ness

A newly-made friend of mine has a chapbook out called SMALL FRUIT SONGS. You can find all the info about it here on her blog: http://catiporter.wordpress.com/small-fruit-songs/

I read it last night and it put me in a very dreamy state. I think what she does best here is to take a word and turn it into a dream-sequence. Prose poetry often has that quality, I think. It can be a whole movie in one paragraph. Or just one scene, depending on the economy of language.

She also edits a mighty-good online poetry journal POEMELEON.

Visit the sites, read some poetry, buy her chapbook.
