Two Poems for December 29, 2025
I’ve used the same strategy as yesterday today: put an interesting text in the Dada Generator, and then edit (though no playing with N + 7 today – these were more strict erasures). The source text for the first poem is an article about an art installation by German artist Tomislav Topić, and the second…

My journey to this poem involved taking the Mary Shelley piece [How like a star you rose upon my life], putting it through the Dada Generator, and then doing some significant editing. I’ve been interested in the Oulipian N + 7 lately, but rather than count seven nouns down, I’ve just been browsing in the…

Pumpkin dense a pumpkin pumpkin
This is the second poem for today, created this evening. I made some long-overdue pumpkin chocolate chip cookies last week. Though when I first tried the recipe years ago they came out like “pumpkin scones” (not quite what I was aiming for but not bad), this time something was wrong. I may have fiddled with…

Good Cheer
I have two poems today. I was originally thinking I’d work from the same text and post them both together, but things didn’t work out as planned. They’re distinctly different and each deserves its own post. The first is a diastic poem I wrote this morning using this article as a source text and the…
