A pamphlet entitled HOUSE OF THE TRAGIC POET, published by Sam Riviere’s If A Leaf Falls Press.

These poems came about because I watched a documentary about a house in Pompeii called The House of the Tragic Poet, and wrote a poem about that house. Then that poem disappeared off my computer. I tried everything I could to get it back but it was gone for good. So I tried to rewrite it, and it wasn’t quite what I remembered the lost one being, so I wrote it again, and again… at one point there were about 30 poems, all with the same title, all pursuing something lost and making something new in the process. The poems in this pamphlet are what remain.
