Chad Parenteau's Lost Causes, 4-12-23

Displaying my absentee power

I’ll Tell You the Chad News First

A quick note for this week as I haven’t been able to do much for the past week. On the other hand, my number of subscriptions has increased somehow. Maybe I should just take a month off and see my non-readers grow.

Stone Soup Poetry

Karen Friedland gave us a stellar feature last week. A perfect opening for National Poetry Month. Read the Stone Soup Croutons poem from that week, “You Call It Bachelor Life for Dignity’s Sake.”

This week, it’s an all-open mic at the Assemblage Gallery. Hoping someone joins us.

Oddball Magazine

Click here for poetry by Terry Loncaric, Sophia Upshaw and Eleanor Kirby.

On Monday, Geoffrey Fallon seemingly ended his longest comics story to date. Anne Skove had an injury but that didn’t stop her with her She Who Laughs Lasts comic. Edward S. Gault gave us a combination of his poetry and photography for National Poetry Month, and Steven David Justin Sills continued with his Ukraine-inspired cantos. Jason Wright kicked off the first poem column with his Jagged Thought. James Van Looy’s It’s All One Thing will follow tomorrow with Janet Cormier (Bamboozled No More!) and Bruce Wise (Wise Words) closing out Friday. No surprises as I will be indisposed for a good amount of Friday and won’t be able to oversee and promote anything properly.

The Tuesday Poems

My project is still going on for April, much to my surprise. Part 34 is up on my Patreon. Join it today, and you read all my secret poems.

Happy National Poetry Writing Month

I’m keeping up with the poem-a-day challenge. Click here to read everything I’ve written to date.
