A Preface

What will, for the next 30 days or so, follow this post constitutes my participation in the NaPoWriMo, a nationally-organized poetry marathon that has been going on for several years.

I'll write a poem (or more) a day. Some of these poems will be components of one or more serial projects; others will be "one night stands," as Jack Spicer called them. If I feel explanation is needed, or simply interesting, I'll try to add a word or two in the comments after the poems themselves, thus allowing a happy medium: the poems can stand on their own, or they can be contextualized as extensions of the act of their writing.
