And below is a sample poem from our featured poet:
THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE TWO
ripe grapefruits in a glass
bowl in the fridge beside
a small note: Darling, you
can always count on me.
Scribble that to yourself
if you have to. Then spend
the morning in the tub
holding yourself beneath
the water. Listen for
the cello's womb bleeding
into your wrinkled skin.
Eyes half-opened, like rough
moss lining a clay pot.
Don't get up to answer
any calls. When you fly
downstairs, there will be bags
of groceries already
unpacked, a bright kitchen
that you won't remember
tidying and a fresh
pie warm on the counter.
Eat it naked and wet.
This poem was first published in Kestrel, Issue 37.
See his chapbook November Weather Spell via Main Street Rag.

RETURN OF OUR POETRY OPEN MIC!
Also, we are thrilled to be bringing back our open mic, after this reading, similar but slightly differently to past in-person readings we hosted for years.
