"At the Quinte Hotel" by Al Purdy

Here's a little video from Canadian poet Al Purdy . My thanks to Woody for introducing me to his work. This one isn't a single sentence, but it's great nevertheless and worthy of a post on the blog.

Abbreviated Writers Unite!

Here is the first of possibly several to many posts on this here web log for the Abbreviated Writers' Group of Wesley Chapel. In an effort to get more people involved in the site, I wanted to have a space away from facebook on the web that anyone can access. I'll try to keep both spots up and running with updates for as long as I can or as long as both stay relevant.

Don't forget next week's assignment: a one sentence prose poem. I used the example from Killarney Clary. I found a link here to it from the LA Times. http://articles.latimes.com/1989-07-09/books/bk-5161_1

Kurt mentioned also the great poems from Whitman, one of which (not the one he mentioned, but another fine one) you can find here: http://www1.bartleby.com/142/51.html.

Next meeting: 8/27.
