Odd Words

Carp. Between work, a cold and the collision of Carnival and the Super Bowl, I completely forgot to write up an Odd Words column this week. So quick before the day gets any later:

§ 17 Poets ends its holiday absence and resumes its weekly run tonight at The Goldmine Saloon at 8 p.m. with a reading & party for poet and author Rodger Kamenetz on his 60th birthday.

fat pillow-mint shaped drops
float down slow as snow.

§ And finally, a helpful list of publications that regularly publish from the slush pile, courtesy of TheRumpus.Net.
