Interestingly, his poems are formatted in a rarely-used vertical Japanese-type style with one word per line. Although these poems would work, and work very well, in the usual three-line format, Gramlich's style lends additional weight to these already evocative pieces. "Wanting the Mouth of a Lover" is available from the Spec House of Poetry (http://spechouseofpoetry.blogspot.com).<br /><br />And, I think that "The Universe in Three Lines" really is a cool little sampler. I'll print some out and bring them with me to area readings for the next few weeks.J.E.

I've been working on horrorku and the form works with such themes as well.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
