Poetry On The iPhoneThe Academy Of American Poets recently announced their mobile poetry website, complete with numerous poems arranged by theme or occasion and by form. Now, if anyone accuses you of being shallow, you can call up Paul Celan’s “Fugue of Death” on your iPhone, recite a few lines, and quickly prove them wrong.

    It isn’t my fault, it was a present.

    Yeah, yeah. Go write a poem about how you and your $400 phone are so misunderstood. :)

    Me? Write a poem? I guess stranger things have happened.

    I didn’t covet.
    Galled by my indifference,
    he said, “iPhone time.”
