fierce resistance to the new...
Very pleased to have a new poem, “Self-portrait,” appear at Reimagining Place, an online companion to the literary journal Ecotone, as part of the Addiction as Ecotone Series. Am in wonderful company.
“We all need discipline.”
about me
- sam of the ten thousand things
- the milky way
- Sam Rasnake, a sardonic twist of fate, is a pathetic excuse for a poet who once dreamed he was a human who dreamed he was a teacher who thought he could play guitar. Along the way - a soul-mate, two children - one collection, Necessary Motions; three chapbooks, Religions of the Blood, Lessons in Morphology, and Inside a Broken Clock. He even thinks he edits a magazine - Blue Fifth Review.

Congratulations, Sam. A very nice poem. I love the "brown almost angry stubble." Helen Losse
Congratulations, Sam. Exquisite composition.
A small wonder of a poem. Congrats, Sam.

Congratulations!
So so lovely!
"My only certainty is this window..."
I think I already told you that that's one of those lines I'd be carrying around inside me for a long time. It was good to read that line again and be reminded of its resonance.
For that matter, it was good to read the whole poem.
And good to see you published.
Bravo, sir.
(I watched No Country for Old Men last night on a whim. Good god. Not the kind of movie one should watch on a whim. I'm glad I saw it though. I feel changed somehow. Now, I need to sink my teeth into the book. Brolin wasn't nominated for any awards, was he? He should've been.)
Thanks to all for the kind words, and the visit. I appreciate them.
Gorgeous work, Sam. Congrats.
Thanks, Clare.
