10,000-page poem published

Who says poetry is dead? Those quarter-pagers in The New Yorker about the smell of winter on a haystack, those aren’t poems. This is a poem: “Poetry City Marathon” by David Morice, who sometimes goes by Dr. Alphabet. Last year Morice wrote a 100-page poem every day for 100 days. Yep, that’s 10,000 pages, and now the University of Iowa (where Morice got his MFA) is publishing it.
