Wolf in Linden Ave Literary Journal

Wolf in Linden Ave Literary Journal

Published by Tracy May Adair on January 24, 2017

My poem, “Wolf,” appears in this month’s Linden Avenue Literary Journal — the January 2017 issue, no. 56.

You can read my poem here, as well as poetry and prose by Rosie DeSantis, Edinson Shane Tolley, Stephen Wack, and Diane Bonavist.

I really like the selections Linden Avenue Literary Journal makes — reading through the back issues is a treat, if you have some time to browse.

John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs, Part 2 of 3: Content Connections

This is Part 2 of a 3 part series on Berryman’s Dream Songs. You can find Part 1 in an earlier post.

I was re-reading John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs and finished my re-read on the 45th anniversary of Berryman’s death. That is a creepy coincidence which I didn’t see coming.

John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs, Part 1 of 3: Craft

The craft and skill which John Berryman pours into his 77 Dream Songs is often overshadowed by the intensity of the content of which he writes. With that in mind, I am splitting my comments on 77 Dream Songs into a three post series.

  • Part 1 will focus on craft comments.
  • Part 2 will discuss connections among the content.
  • Part 3 will give a list of links for further reading and listening/viewing.
