Gotta love the Volkswagen Karmen Ghia (My best friend had one.) -- my first car was a small regular V-wagen powder blue with a sun roof--and the salesman had to drive it home so I could learn to drive a stick shift.
You gotta read Robert Hass: "Story of a Body" -- one of my favorite of his prose poems. ~ Mary
Thanks, Mary. I've been aware of the prose poem form since finding Baudelaire as a teenager. While living in New York City I found more contemporary poets using the form and I was hooked. Will have a look at the Robert Hass poem. -- Russell
