February 03***

February 2003 may be a rather unmemorable patch in many people’s memories by now, but for Todd Colby, Alex Gildzen, Thurston Moore, and Matthew Wascovich, that month, now over two years old, has a more special significance. The four poets wrote a poem a day that February, encapsulating the day and/or some of its activities in pieces that range from a few short sentences to more extended forms. It’s obvious that some days seemed more poignant than others to each of the contributors, as some of the poems seem like mere afterthoughts, but it’s an interesting facet of the process, with length and style of each piece being signposts of their particular mindset that day as much as the actual contents of the poems
