THE BEST THING ABOUT A POEM

infinitegossip.substack.com

The best thing about a poem is that you can fit the whole thing into the body of an email without needing attachments. The best thing about a travelling salesman is that he can fit everything he needs into his little suitcase and go and go without ever stopping until he has sold everything in there 1000 times over, or even more, and even then he can still go on and on and on. The best thing about a jellyfish is that it wants practically nothing and gets practically nothing. It all works out.


Thank you to every one who has supported Infinite Gossip Industries and its embattled CEO, me, in 2022. All the people who bought copies of BLUE NIGHT AT THE CULT and downloaded The Horse & The Rider and just plain old liked and shared have made me feel great, and I love to feel great. I appreciate it!


If you’d like one final, end-of-year bummer, I posted a reading of a 2021 story, APRIL, on my podcast feed this week. You can listen to it here. Happy new year!

Happy new year, Max! Looking forward to another year of your ever-expanding oeuvre, as much as that turn of phrase sounds like something a doctor should check out.
