Blender of Love Digest September 1997

Season's End... The Indigo Girls sang "I could go crazy on a night like tonight/ When summer's begining to give up her fight" and sometimes I know just what they mean-- The Blender of Love Journal has survived its first summer and is bracing itself for the onslaught of fall into winter... This month brings a new feature to the Blender: the Blend-O-Matic, a dispenser of tiny pieces of romantic prose and poetry. (A one- at- a- time selection from a collection of well over 100.) Give it a few clicks, you may come up with a surprise.	New Works Dumpstruck By Jennifer Rutherford. A monologue from a play in progress- one of the most real things I've read in a while.. Comes To Love By Kirk, keeper of the blender. A quick verse that's already appeared in the Blend-o-Matic. Divine Intervention By Elissa (lilwomyn@geocities.com). "A poem written while sitting alone in an empty cafe" -- the first two stanzas have much grace. Lovesick By Rita Randazzo, Vermont poet. A short poem that balances on its last few lines. Guilt By Jessica Papke jetson@tir.com. a piece written in the dark, another one that depends on its strong ending. Broadcasting By Carlos (carlos.a.rubinstein@mci.com). described as "Jazz-like", a piece with a strange mysticism and strong sensuality. A Glimpse By z. A powerful metaphor. Heart on Sleeve Corner All the remaining heartsongs sent to the Blender last month.
Features Ramble Regarding Romance This month Kirk responds to the two paragraph review in The New Yorker review and the question of maturity. Featured Artist Review Jack Gilbert, one of the giants in modern romantic poetry. Extra on the Artists Last month's featured artist Adam Green contacted me with more information about his work.
