Poetry

LitKicks is on vacation (with some new software under construction) until the new year, and nothing's going to bring me back today, not even a NYTBR featuring the latest J. M. Coetzee plus Rick Moody on Led Zeppelin. Instead, here's our annual Action Poetry end-of-year retrospective. Please click to read a randomly selected poem. See you in the new decade!
