Ghost City Review - Thirteen Ways


David W. Parsley

136 views

Ghost City Review has selected "Thirteen Ways of Looking at 50+ Years of Poetry" for their April issue.  You could say I have thirteen poems appearing there, all of which are updates to pieces first vetted on this forum.  They can be found individually on PMO along with links to the source material that is being lampooned for each section, not to mention the discussion brought by PMO members who helped me hone this satirical laugh-in.  GCR poetry editor (our own John Compton!) was particularly taken with section IX and graciously requested that I submit the piece in its entirety.  Here it is, thirteen(!) years after original composition.

An interesting experience: I had somebody hunt me down on LinkedIn using biographical information posted with this poem.  It was both flattering and eye opening to hear from a fan of the piece.  Good to see that folks who read periodicals like Ghost City Review really care about the work they find there.  And I feel like it provides some validation for the faith invested by the editors in curating this poem.  

Nice!

Oh.  And here is a link to the poem as it first appeared on PMO.  If you go there, you can click on the section numbers which in turn hotlink to the individual poems which give some explication of the works being lampooned.  Not to mention insights provided by PMO members.
