God Help Us: The Poetry of Tessa Rumsey

Excerpts from Copperopolis

"Intense Bursts of energy are now emanating from the sun and
you are lit from within
Like it aint no thing. "I am lit from within!"The seconds so
facile to glitter through

If You Were Smart You Would Stop Reading Now

Architecture of Elizabeth Taylor, a screaming Judy Garland
solar
system, wear despair

This is This Worst Fucking Poem I Have Ever Read!

And lo! You are lit up from the inside! A Jules Verne Spaceship
that cannot fly


Note: The statements in bold are not part of the poem.
I can not print the entire monstrosity for copy right
reasons.


Tessa "learned" to "write" her "poetry" at the
Iowa Writers Workshop.

Tessa has "won" two awards that are under
suspicion because one was awarded by Mr. Galvin
the husband at the time of her teacher at Iowa
Jorie Graham. The other was given by Jorie Graham
and two judges in 2004, The Barnard Prize.

If that is not enough suspicion, then I think
her "poetry" speaks volumes.
