On Becoming the Best Poet in the Room
by Alan Gann
After shooting Billy Collins
I took his last cannoli
out of the oven
and left it to cool
by an open window
then wondered
what to do about Mary Oliver?
Barn Dance
by Alan Gann
I believe in spoken word—
pulse dancing with sound, cadence, and history,
spun round in ecstatic quadrille—
bow to your partner and do-si-do
