dear irrepressible poets,
fuck
it’s 2011 and who gives a fuck about poems?
the poetry scene has long loosened limbs
violated virgins beat their breasts
but after all where has poetry gotten us
that tearing off our garments hasn’t?
our whole poetic tradition is inseminated
from promiscuous sappho and catallus
(coming: poetry’s severities)
to River Writers annual celebration of the vernal equinox
an exceptional anthology is born!
extending an umbilical invitation
for national fuck poem progeny
grope voluptuous venus
adonis in bondage!
fuck
write
submit
repeat
stimulate the double entendre :
hatred of/or poesy ‘s self-hatred
we ain’t looking for anti-workshop wit
we wants to fuck: lewd and lascivious
historical translations of past fuckers
but as with fucking we are open to all
interpretations variants of your original penned positions
that pull our rags down to our ankles
if anyone gets to say fuck poems it’s us!
severely,
vincent a. cellucci
p.s., publication requires more than cringeworthy titillation and sexual description, but it also mandates them as well!
