ALEX GALLO-BROWN He Was a Worker
so banal a demand it went unnoticed
ADAM CLAY Now Warm and Capable
The week-before-last Ada asked Michael and I /
if we believed in God, a higher power, /
a whatever.
LAURA READ Deer are the obvious stand-ins for the dead
Often what I want is impossible
ELIZABETH ROBINSON [Burnt easy chair on sidewalk]
Glory exists along a continuum.
DAN KAPLAN Whatever an Infinitesimal Dog Tells You
My head was in the middle / of something.
KATHARINE COLES Missing
The building between the buildings. A child, / Graveyards.
ELIZABETH METZGER Last of Kin
In a dark home an instant more by choice, / the body.
JULIA KOLCHINSKY DASBACHOther women don’t tell you
having learned what it means / to be apart
ROB SCHLEGEL Two Poems
What did you see, little fish?
