Malcolm M. Sedam Stone Gulch Poetry Memorial       Malcolm M. Sedam (1921-1976) Malcolm M. Sedam:  Fighter Pilot, Businessman, Teacher, Poet The late poet, Malcolm M. Sedam, exemplifies the Socratic command implied in the oft-quoted, "The unexamined life is not worth living."   Sedam's "Joseph":  A Postmodernist Betrayal Discounting the viability of virgin birth, the speaker of Malcolm M. Sedam's "Joseph" poses as Joseph to act as an iconoclastic myth buster.   The Versanelle:  A Dynamic, Epigrammatic Form Often employing the usual poetic devices, the versanelle is a crafty little form whose elements include brevity, narration, critique of human nature, and a punch line.   Sedam's "Desafinado":  Ginsberg’s Irrelevance The speaker in Malcolm M. Sedam's "Desafinado" takes the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg to task for what the speaker considers to be devastation to the human soul.
