Dawn was breaking as I wrote it after staying up til 5am to grade student portfolios. It was my turn to write a pantoum anyway for my chapbook with Bronwen Tate (we’re doing a form poem trade for the Dusie Kollective, which you can read about at Poets & Writers here) so I wrote that Dusie pantoum with Stacey Hardwoods “please hold while our representatives are assisting other callers” facebook status update as a prompt. It as Mark Doty who suggested that the status might indeed be a prompt for a pantoum or villanelle. Check out the other entries–fun stuff!
A piece about WALTIC should go up later this week at the Best American Poetry Blog also. I’ll keep you posted.
