This week, we offer you a little distraction with poems by Kenneth P. Gurney and Marci Rae Johnson. Find and support their projects by surfing on over to the People page (see, even more stuff to distract you) and, if you're a poet, send us your poems.

In the after party, listen to a song by "the best bad band in the world" (warning: their other songs may not be safe for work) then check out their other projects here and here. Finally, meet us in the comments section and let us know, what gets you through the day?

One of the little things that makes my day: a cup of cofee with Alex after work.

I think Kenneth's poem about trying hard to remember is very memorable! Lots of vivid images, some interlinked in memorable ways, and also the mnemonic use of anaphora.

I love the hypnotic lyricism of Marci's sounds and rhythms: waves inside waves inside waves. Lovely. No wonder she was published in the fine 32 Poems!

(I think some of your regular listeners may be distracted by summer vacations! )

I know we've been distracted by summer vacation! We missed last week because Alex and I were in the Keys sailing and snorkeling and eating copious amounts of key lime pie. Oh, the rough times! :) We'll be back with new poems tomorrow.
