The awkward geometry of a warming oblate spheroid

The latest poetry pamphlet from The Text Biz is available now.

The awkward geometry of a warming oblate spheroid is about climate change. The oblate spheroid is, of course, the Planet Earth. The movement through the various forms in this sequence of poems can be interpreted to echo the disruption caused by catastrophic climate events, as the shape changes from the formal and lyrical, to free verse, concrete poetry, and ultimately a parody of all that has been lost.

Get some words and ideas for a climate protest or a climate rally!

Poetry by Bruce Marsland

Maybe every individual enterprise includes something a little more individual than enterprise.  

The meat, potatoes, and apple pie of The Text Biz are the editing, educational, and consultation services.  The digestif is the creative writing, and particularly the poetry.

So now is the time to give that after-dinner part of the business the breathing space of its own web portal: poems, publications, and links to texts published elsewhere, as well as a little biographical background.

For the manually inclined, just type brucemarsland.com into that bar at the top of your screen, and press enter.

For the mousers, click the image.  You know the drill.
