Strange to think one could be considered for best poem on internet; that a prize can even pretend to wrangle this quaking terrain. That said, I’m grateful to Anvil Tongue Books for nominating a recent poem, “Da Fugue Zone #62: The Great Beyond,” for a Best of Net 2021. It’s pretty rad company in this group of nominations alone.

As of this morning, there are 182 fugue poems. The titling is shifting but the impulse is the same. I do not know quite what it is yet, tho its faces say words.
