Update: Laurable Abecedarian: A Poem (Microsoft Word Doc, 250k)

and, Synchonized Sonnet: A Collaboration by Laura Willey and Levi Asher (Microsoft Word Doc, 829k)

Laurable dot com's first poetry press is currently featuring a series of single poem chapbooks. The first chapbook was Laurable One-Word Slam: A Poem.

The chapbook is, as of yet, only available in Microsoft Word 2000 format [161kb, with the assembly instructions at the end of the document, staples not included], and hopefully very soon be available in PDF format.

The second edition of Laurable One-Word Slam: A Poem, with a new introduction by Marc Mclean, will be forthcoming in the Fall of 2002.

This chapbook was created for and accompanied a poetry slam held August 29, 2002 at The Bowery Poetry Club in New York City. The one-word slam, hosted and initiated by Gary Mex Glazner, was my first and only slam performance.

For a summary of the performance, which will explain the impetus, visual aspects and audience participation behind the chapbook, please feel free to e-mail me. I am currently writing a preface to serve this function and will post it shortly.
