Penny Ante Feud 13 - Dying Words - Bog

Penny Ante Feud 13: Between the shadow and the soul The space in between: as thinking animals these gaps are the source of endless puzzles and our instinct to connect seemingly unrelated things and concepts: life-love-sex-death-god, the list goes on...this practice is where we as poets find answers, or at least find clues, or maybe just more questions, who really knows? In this edition of Penny Ante Feud we attempt to make an abundance of connections; in fact, if you count the number of hyphenated words or phrases in this issue it will surely astound. And if they're not actually on the page the effect is the same. There must be something to it, it's never purely unconscious, but perhaps subconscious. And as far as the work itself, each of these poems will amaze - they may take a lot out of you, you may be only able to digest small portions at a time, but you'll want to put this on your shelf of favorites and possibly refer to it as a manual for making connections whenever you feel disconnected. In any case, it's some of our strongest work yet and if nothing else gives us hope - a connection between now and the future - that we'll continue on, doing what we do, getting the word out there one poem at a time.
