poetry inchoate desires odd jobs |
FLOP HOUSE GUEST REGISTER The Poetry Flop House Series: In 1992 I acquired a large, cheap apartment in the weirdly beautiful Uptown neighborhood in Chicago. Dozens of touring artists, mostly poets, crashed there for a night or more. They were on tour, temporarily homeless, too drunk to get home, or had other reasons. When my old place went condo in November 2001, I began soliciting tributes from the talented minds who slept on its beds, couches and floors. A blessing of real estate fate gave me another big Uptown apartment; any poets who flop will pay with poetry. - Greg Gillam, Fengi editor. |
