Matt Proctor’s diary, City Life, spans from March to May of this year so it is hot off the presses, and full of little axiom poems that I enjoy:
thought is
a mirror
it shows
you who
you are
my left
side is my
good side
…
the fact
of the matter
is
a walk
is a poem
here comes one
now
…
it’s dark inside
god’s fist
When I heard Matt read from City Life at KGB not too long ago, I asked if I could record him for the blog. At Saint Mark’s Church on Wednesday shortly before the poetry reading he was helping to coordinate, the sun was beginning to set and shone on him with its changing light and shadow as he read, all for you on the Vimeo below.
