When I met him I immediately knew he should be part of The Emerging Writer's Series at Book Corner. His work, extraordinary/moving/fresh is going to change how people look at words and how they look at poetry.Tamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10973303288524397231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253474390438682631.post-56511980275750656122008-08-19T13:45:00.000-04:002008-08-19T13:45:00.000-04:00As a writer I know exactly what it feels like to put your work out there, in hopes that someone will discover it and love it as much as you enjoy crafting it. My heartfelt congratulations go out to the man who has done just that, and has garnered such an extensive following by simply introducing the masses to his unique poetry styling.<BR/><BR/>Kudos, Paul.

All poem books are the same to me. I read them and I feel like I read them all, but with Paul Siegell's "Poemergency," it's something I keep on hand to go back to for inspirationMissy's Got Fighting Bloodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16324390132617648564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253474390438682631.post-16616167240055176452008-08-19T13:19:00.000-04:002008-08-19T13:19:00.000-04:00Paul Siegell is a poet with many styles, though. One style doesn't define him. He'll hit you with the "Suicide in the Subway" poem and the "Hecanbe" poem, poems that are considered the "typical" poem in set up and straight talk, but then he'll throw "the hyperventilating hyphen" and "The Double-O Poem..." your way and it leaves me thinking: What have I been missing when it comes to poetryMissy's Got Fighting Bloodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16324390132617648564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253474390438682631.post-8098759902378803652008-08-19T09:39:00.000-04:002008-08-19T09:39:00.000-04:00I'm intrigued:) Moving from pop culture to literary references sounds like my groove, but the shape poems usually annoy me- odd considering I'm a visual artist. I'll definitely have to give this a look.heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08387966641186821243noreply@blogger.com
