POETRY

 

In 1966, after receiving many awards for poetry, David Wade produced and appeared on the album "The Poetry/Jazz Lp" which was praised by Allen Ginsberg in the New York Times.

He has published over 400 poems, articles, interviews, dream journals, and short stories in such periodicals as Trace, Confrontation, Obras, and Tuli Kupferberg's Yeah. He has also published two volumes of poetry: Death of a Chinese Paratrooper (1972) and Hungry Horse on a Blank Field (1982). "Since the parting of Mel Tormé and two close friends (close a veces en mi vida!) to "The Other Shore" -- Jolon DeL. and Jean Farmer -- I live each day as if in Eternidad -- which means I need to write more and sleep less."

David Wade has a B.A. in Speech and Theatre from Florida State University (1958), and an M.A. in English and Creative Writing from Indiana University (1961).

MATRIX is happy to host four poems of Mr. Wade's :

Simplex Munditis: Raca, Raca, Raca, "Ugly" Love Poem, Collapse of the Soviet Maya, Public Park of the Damned.
