The Holy Tango Anthology of Literature
In the Holy Tango Anthology of Literature, Francis Heaney explores the important question of "what would happen if poets and playwrights wrote works whose titles were anagrams of their names."
Some choice bits:
I WILL ALARM ISLAMIC OWLS
WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS
I will be alarming
the Islamic owls
that are in
the barn
and which

are very jittery
and susceptible to loud noises
Forgive me
they see so well in the dark
so feathery
and so dedicated to Allah
nice smug me
e. e. cummings

disjunct
i used to
stick to regular metered
poetry

and what i want to know is
