American Sentences

I’ve been reading a book by Kim Addonizio called Ordinary Genius: A Guide for the Poet Within.  Sometimes when I’m stuck or lost it helps to read  the wise words of poets and writers.  Addonizio introduced me to the concept of  “American Sentences”  created by Alan Ginsberg.  Based on the syllable count from Haiku but with no line breaks it was a joy to discover.  There is more about this form here.
