Three new poems, first posted to the Flarflist, by yours truly, here.

Anyways, I read the poems and as a writer myself busy writing a memoir and a series of poems myself, I guess I can be this honest critic and come forward and tell you that... These aren't poems.

peter said...: criticism is one thing (and taste another), but in what objective way do find gary's pieces not to meet the following definition, as per merriam webster: "writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm"; October 8, 2012 at 4:46 AM

come on in

Soon after I moved to New York City in 1997 I began to notice that bodegas run by people from around the world sometimes stocked CDs and DVDs of music and film from the countries they had come from.

The music I've collected from these bodegas can almost never be found in the "World Music" sections of the few remaining places to buy CDs in the U.S.; nor, for that matter on iTunes (or cheapo MP3 sites like Soundike).

If you are an artist or publisher and do not want your music here, just let me know and I'll remove it.
