“Postcard Poems” by MARC ELLIS,
was recently solicited for printing by
the publication below!
March 24, 2004
Newly published: Off the Record: An Anthology
of Poetry by Lawyers
from James R. Elkins
of
the West Virginia
University College
of Law:
“The Legal Studies Forum, a interdisciplinary journal which
in recent years has focused on literature, film, and popular culture, announces
publication of its 2004 volume, Off the Record: An Anthology of Poetry by
Lawyers. The anthology, a volume of 732 pages, presents the poetry of 66
lawyers or former lawyers (and one law student). Off the Record is of
historical significance as it is the first anthology of lawyers’ poetry ever
published, and indeed, is thought to be the first issue of an American law
journal devoted exclusively to poetry.”
“Some people may assume
that lawyering & the making of poems are
incompatible activities -- we’d remind them that the medium of both is
language. The two arts come together in the (quite possibly apocryphal) story
about our friend Dayvid Figler,
. . . . .“Poet
for the defense,” who is said to have won a case in criminal court with his
performance of a summation written entirely in blank verse.” - LINKED from: About.com
