DICTIONARY POEMS:
Gayle created a writing practice for herself when she was in between projects—she found a new word in the dictionary every day (a juicy word, an evocative word) and wrote a poem around it.

Pudding House Publications released a chapbook of these poems in 2003 (ISBN #158998143X).

To order Dictionary Poems ($8.95 plus $2.50 shipping and handling), contact Pudding House Publications at info@puddinghouse.com. Or, you may place a credit card order by calling (614) 986-1881.
