“I Thought I Ought to Number” in ubu

"I Thought I Ought to Number” appears in issue #1 of the new zine ubu. A poem in a debut issue. That’s fun. My poem appears on p.16 (or maybe 17; the pages aren’t numbered). 

ubu is edited by Lori A. Minor. She says of the ezine’s mission: 

My favorite absurdist play … Jarry's Ubu Roi (1896), … uses extreme satire, foolishness, and obscenity to mock the upper middle class and overturn their social norms, [and] is a precursor to Dadaism, Surrealism, and the Theatre of the Absurd … I chose ubu. for its roots in the plays … I began writing and studying minimalist poetry over the past four years. Recently I've decided to combine my love of the two by using this venue to focus on absurd, minimalist writing.”
