I Still Have a Mouth, I Must Scream

Help us keep on giving.

Sponsored by Workhorse, Lexington Poetry Month is an easy to use platform for poets to publish and share their work in an attractive way. The community is supportive and diverse, commenting and encouraging one another throughout June. Money we raise goes to maintaining the cost of the website and publishing the yearly anthology. Our goals are to provide every poet (~150) a copy of the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings and poetry workshops.

I Still Have a Mouth, I Must Scream

Angry Candy.
Dangerous Visions.
Deathbird Stories.
The world woke
a little poorer today.
The bellicose dwarf,
torcher of gates,
has passed the final boss challenge.

I will paint my face
and repeat repents
to the Tick-Tock Man.

Goodbye Harlan.

Harlan Ellison died? I hadn’t heard.

Love “torcher of gates.” I still remember reading “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream,” how his work seemed to stay with the reader and follow one long after the reading.

Thanks for the tribute, Bernie!

Another letter to the dead…
