Comics blogger Sean Kleefield was at the con yesterday and has a write-up with screenshots, including one of me presenting:
In other news about me, or not about me as the case is here, a couple poets/artists/? released “For Godot” issue 1, a 3785 page PDF that has about that many poems attributed to a huge range of people (mostly poets, I think) but actually written, I assume, by the creators of the issue. Strange and rather funny, though some of the “authors” seem pretty upset by the whole thing. I’m not sure how I got included in there. I haven’t written poetry for years, but I like the one attributed to me (page 497):
“Attiring temerity”
Like an implied term
Like a silent term
-Derik Badman
Oddly, when I did write poems, they were often that short.

Ha ha… the comment thread is hilarious. Poets having no sense of humor–who’d a thought?
There’s even law suit threats!
Personally, I’m even more excited now that I noticed Queneau’s name in there too. I can’t think of better company to be in for having not written a poem.
Fun with the poem generator!
