Executive Assistant at Poetry House

September 14th, 2008 by ruah

If you haven’t heard of Gabriel Olearnik yet, you will. He’s a Polish poet masquerading as a lawyer (em, sorry, solicitor) in London, and has written, in my opinion, some really tremendous poetry. You can find his work online at Dappled Things. If you’re on the other side of the pond than I, you might be interested in this job:

Barbarians

August 16th, 2008 by ruah

Drunk artisans shine dull,
Striving, inebriated by the world’s narcissistic noise,
      and remembering
The beatific sound of byzantine bells.
Echoes of holiness, reflected dimly in the clouded mirrors
of disco ball souls.
