1. The Circus

   This festive suite of 10 Anipoemas extends the range of Uribe’s talent to imbue letters with character, this time inhabiting different roles in a circus. Set up as a sequence that begins and ends (just follow the links) with a grand parade, these poems turn the alphabet into jugglers, trapeze artists, equilibrium acts, clowns, animals, and more. Who else would’ve had so much fun with the idea that the only difference between a 1 and an i was a diacritical dot? (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

2. Diver

   In this kinetic poem, the lines rise before our eyes like bubbles from a diver exploring the depths of a reservoir. The words in each line are formatted using size and position to direct the readers’ attention towards nouns, verbs, and adjectives, while de-emphasizing articles, prepositions, and conjunctions. The arrangement of each poetic or phrasal line into multiple lines clustered and spaced like stanzas makes the commas at the end of each seem vestigial, when the spatial and chronological dimensions create such a paused pace for the poem. There is something eerie about this poem, involving a tall drowned pecan tree, a bass, and man— a fellow diver, perhaps? Dive into this poem a few times and see what literal and symbolic things you discover in its depths. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)
