Nancy’s Notes: An American Sentence is a single-line poetic form invented by Allen Ginsberg in the mid-1980s as a Western adaptation of the traditional 17-syllable Japanese haiku. Because of the way my site is set up, I was unable to print this sentence in a single line.

This is “Little Pink Mack” by Kay Adams
