A Prayer to Bhutto
Posted by editor at 10:10 am in workplace notes

You can read my prayer to Benazir Bhutto here at Cathy’s Heart Happy blog.

It’s part of a larger poem, an evolving collection of five prayers to famous people (Oprah, Ryan Seacrest, Jamie Lynn Spears, Johnny Depp, and Benazir Bhutto). And, yes, it’s prayer to famous people, not for famous people, and it is a theologically significant shift, but poets should not really explain too much.

I think Jerry Falwell might be tomorrow’s prayer.

    I saw the news about this as a crawl on CNN that someone was watching in the seat in front of me on the plane… terrible.

    I like your poem very much! Where can I read the rest of your collection to famous people?

    Do you get the New Yorker?

    Just kidding, Jordan. :)

    I’ll send it to you.

    I would love it if you would post your other poems. But if not, perhaps you could just send them to me. I like it. A lot. Thank you, Elizabeth

    I’m not sure I could pray for Jerry Falwell, even for art’s sake.
