words not to use (re: last night)

a year ago (today) i met with Saylor about creating a chapbook. after he explained to me what it was, we set about brainstorming ideas for a series of poems i had written about an American girl with a Czech surname (who got away) and a Russian girl who's never been in love (except with an older woman).

many conversations followed, and the single, bizarre layout i initially envisioned morphed into a double volume of poem cycles. over the course of that time the American girl moved across the country (and grew closer). the Russian girl moved two towns closer (and grew further away). but all this is beside the point.

the point is that tomorrow i meet with Jache to administer the coup de grĂ¢ce, and by summer's end the project will be in print.
