welcome to the poetic vortex…

well, hi there!

greetings from the Poetic Vortex.

for those of you not familiar with the Poetic Vortex of Worcester, here in the Poets’ Asylum it was our many-years-ago name for the phenomenon that led to so many poets over the years moving here — usually for a short time, sometimes longer.

the vortex has taken on new meaning lately.

let’s describe the west side of Vernon Hill, a tangled neighborhood of narrow streets and three-deckers.

let’s zero in on one small patch of the hill.

in one apartment:

chryslerpoet*
badgary
wormtown_mensch

two doors down:

myainsel
ocvictor

about a block and half away:

javabill
thisrabbit

and next door to them:

allan_inc

So not only has the vortex reformed, it is smaller and more concentrated than before.

all your poets are belong … eh. even i’m not that cheesy.

*for those not keeping up: i’m separated from my wife. it’s just what is. onward.
