Wergle Flomp Humor Award 2021 | My Therapist Sez by Koss

August 15, 2021 ·

Utterly thrilled to win first place in the Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry contest this year. The poem, My Therapist Sez, was published in Diode Poetry last year and is the only poem with papaya salad, kundalini awakenings, multiple therapy sessions, and trick or treating in it. Adam Cohen and Jendi Reiter have been absolutely wonderful to work with, and they even engaged me to illustrate the poem. Check it out along with the other amazing winning poems on their site.

Here’s the main contest page with a list and links to the other winners (some great writing) and runner-ups (plus commentary by the judge, Jendi Reiter). And find the press release here.

Asemic Writing Poetry

March 3, 2021 ·

Screwing around tonight with some paint and pens, which I then digitized. These are possible inclusions in the book–Magpies of sorts with asemic writing, Wuthering Heights page, and a mysterious black package . . . I like digitizing the work and replicating, changing, introducing new variables . . . Yes, I’m still a bit of a punk. Update: It’s 2024 and I created a new Insta account just for visual poetry, collage, asemic art, and similar. Follow me here. Note this is different from my main Insta account. I will be adding an asemic art gallery some time this summer, but another place to find my work is at Diode Poetry. They published several suites of asemic and erasure poetry. The crow on the right below appeared in different forms on Up the Staircase Quarterly and in a recent issue of Mom Egg Review (print), spring 2024.
