prose || Richard Kostelanetz
NONSEQUITUR PROSE
It was on my birthday that I returned to my house. My birthday falls on the fifteenth of April. The fifteenth time I tried my borrowed key it worked. The key to understanding prose such as this is disassociation. This is prose rather than poetry because the sentences suggest a narrative. Narrative differs from poetry in suggesting movement from one place to another. Writing such as mine depends upon propulsive movement even if it doesn't evoke a superficial sense of going anywhere. Without this sense of propulsion there is no art. What more can I say?

poem || Jeff Harrison
Casanova Was A Fortunate Man
they had good cheer, those feudal barons
enigmas of (not "to") one another —
cheeriest of all was Whippingcane Sam, that
open book, whose castrato would often belt out
"Casanova was a fortunate man, for such an unusual Orfeo"
the lyrics to "Casanova Was A Fortunate Man"?
pretty much "Casanova was a fortunate man, for
such an unusual Orfeo" sang variously for hours or
minutes on end to the dual pages that is the face
of Whippingcane Sam, who was metamorphosed
into a tome by the other barons (for a cause they
could only recall upon overhearing "Casanova was
a fortunate man, for such an unusual Orfeo")
what were the features of Whippingcane Sam's face?
RECTO:
The Dying Earth
by Jack Vance
The Quaker City; or, The Monks of Monk Hall
by George Lippard
Le Mystère des Cathédrales
by Fulcanelli
VERSO:
Mrs. Armytage: or Female Domination
by Catherine Grace Frances Gore
The Nine Unknown
by Talbot Mundy
Heresbachius: Foure Bookes of Husbandrie
by Barnabe Googe
one morning the castrato, perhaps
a prestidigitator all this time, perhaps
not, pulled a bookmark out of (or from
behind) Whippingcane Sam's ear
