A Poet's Past Lives by Carl Nelson
Shoving My Way Into the Conversation by Carl Nelson
Shoving My Way Into the Conversation by Carl Nelson
This first book of poems by Carl Nelson delights in verbal play, rumination, assonance and dissonance, silliness and sadness, the comedy/drama of the small event, the inspired flight of thought, and topics of all sorts from Dumbo to Oscar Wilde. What's a book for if not a place to fly poems like paper airplanes.

Poems that push the contrary. Poems that vent. Poems that stick their tongue out and don't wash their hands. Poems that are critical. Poems that eulogize Bukowski. Poems that embrace unpopular topics and thoughts. Poems that embrace religion and bourgeoisie life and still enjoy small birds, kids, and dogs.

Proof of My Existence by Nellie Hufford
I met my friend when we were nine and in the third grade.
When anyone talked to her she hung her head
and chewed her long stringy hair.
We had a couple of things in common, so she talked to me.
Our dads and grandfathers were friends.
Both of our grandfathers also committed suicide a few days apart.
