"Whistle Stops: A Locomotive Serial Poem occurs over a series of train rides between Toronto and London, Ontario. Each segment of the poem, marked by a time stamp and train number, occupies one train ride. Jack Spicer's concept of serial poetry combines with Charles Olson's "projective verse" in a dynamic that resembles the momentum of a train as it carries the poetry speaker toward and away from her love interest.

It is an unapologetically female addition to a movement that is and should be still in motion."--
