MATTHEW HITTINGER LIKES ANDREW DEMCAK, SO SHOULD YOU


MiPO's cover boy and also fabulous poet Matthew Hittinger left me a nice comment after he finished reading my book, Catching Tigers in Red Weather:

"I enjoyed it very much! Love the 12 line form--creates a nice compression and tension to the imagery and pace. And there's some lovely music in there--I like how the rhyme is often embedded, the final word of a couplet rhyming not with the final word of its companion first line, but with the second- or third-to-last word of the previous line. Good stuff."
