National Poetry Month 2017 : Jamie Sharpe,




Marketing

Stare longingly over
the rails of any bridge.
Poetry’s best publicity
is suicide. Offered
my wrists

            Do Just It

and a manuscript
to New Directions.
Wish you the best
placing your death
elsewhere.

            Forever’s a Diamond

I only have words. I have
the words wrong.




Jamie Sharpe is the author of three poetry collections, Animal Husbandry Today, Cut-up Apologetic, and Dazzle Ships.
