Bat boy found in cave, poet gets media attention, and other unlikely headlines
Vancouver poet Shannon Stewart has accomplished something that most poets could manage only by developing psychic powers or undergoing an alien abduction. She’s been covered in Weekly World News.
Stewart engages tabloid tropes in her latest collection, Penny Dreadful, and that angle caught the attention of the venerable tipsheet. The piece prints one of Stewart’s poems – “Supermarket Lobsters Escape Tank & Terrorize Shoppers” – and also links to the original WWN story that inspired the poem. Both are highly entertaining.
