But enthusiasts maintain that publish- Idiot Box _by Matt Bors ing found poetry falls under fair use standards: “a poet may make use of quotations from existing poetry, literary prose, and non-literary material, if these quotations are re-presented in poetic forms that add value through significant imaginative or intellectual transformation.” “The biggest misconception about found poetry I hear a lot is that it’s plagiarism,” Baker says. “People don’t understand the process that goes into creating it — they think found poets open up a book, pull out a nice para- graph, add a few line breaks and call it their own poem. They don’t understand that the best found poets excerpt just single words or short phrases and spend a significant amount of time reworking them into a new piece whose meaning differs from the original.” Which, in turn, can lead to a greater understanding or appreciation for the original work, even — or especially — for Pulitzer-winning classics like To Kill A Mockingbird or American Pastoral. “For me, the biggest joy in writing found poetry is that you get to approach a text in a new way,” Baker says. “Usually, we read because we have to (for school) or because we’re compelled forward by an interesting story. Rarely do we stop and look at the way language is used or the way sentences are structured. Found poetry gives writers the chance to break open a text and delve beyond just the superficial storyline to the conventions and word choices it’s composed of. And it’s fun because you never know what you’re going to find! You might find a love poem in an astronomy textbook or a war commentary piece in Jane Austen.” _Deirdre Fulton

Do you take requests? you betteR, oR you juSt might get PuncheD in the heaD

_by Sam Pfeifle

Dave Rowe’s most recent story about ftaking requests is just about the worst thing that can happen. Playing a gig with his acoustic-folk band the Squid Jiggers at Bull Feeney’s in Portland’s Old Port, it went down like this: “They sent us a note to the stage as we were going on break, and it said, ‘We’re here on our honeymoon and here’s a list of songs we like.’ They were all right in our wheelhouse, and we thought, ‘Great, we’ll get right to them when we get back on.’ But they got up to leave before we got up on stage.” “So Troy [that’s the other Squid Jigger] says, ‘Let’s give them a CD.’ So I pick up the CD and say, ‘Hey, since you’re leaving, take this,’ and she takes it and then the guy comes by and he decks me.” Draws blood even. Leaves a good-sized egg on Rowe’s head. “It was just some bad decision-making on his part,” Rowe says, still not quite ready to find the whole inci- dent amusing (since, you know, it kind of hurt), “and I have no idea what was going through his head. It’s just screwed.” When the cops tracked the guy down in Massachusetts (small wonder the guy was a Masshole), he said he felt threatened. By a couple of guys playing Irish tunes and taking requests. Sounds legit. Most likely he was feeling that weird sense of ownership that’s all too familiar to musicians playing in bars: In an on- demand world, many patrons (especially when they’ve got a few drinks on board) ‘A lot of people think an ability to play one cover trans- lates to an ability to play any cover. think we’re Or worse. “In the American Idol age, with all these just jukeboxes contests, I’ve seen an increase of people coming up to me and being like, ‘Hey, I and they stick can sing, let me play a song with you,’” says Jason Basiner, one half of the acous- a dime in and tic duo North of Nashville and formerly a regular haunt of Bull Feeney’s, perform- they get what ing as J.
