Our Forum’s envoys to the August IBPC

We’re proud to announce the three poems selected to represent the About Poetry Forum in this month’s InterBoard Poetry Competition: “listen,” a brilliant stream of conversation carrying all the hesitancies & sharp edges of difficult talk between two lovers, in which Terry Lucas (Bardone1) has embedded a couple of crucial, powerful, graphic images; “Rebirth,” an elegantly shaped & musical epiphany by Pam H. Murray (rhymetimeblue); and “Deciphering a Pantoum,” Jim Dunlap (ecrivain01)’s smoothly ticking clockwork explication of a difficult poetic form. Kudos & luck in the judging to our three poets, and thanks to everyone who offered nominations or posted permissions.
