Why I Don’t Write Haiku
by Pamela Miller

January 1, 2018 Contributed By: Pamela Miller

Make no little plans;
they have no magic to stir men’s blood
—Daniel Burnham

 

why address the world
through the wrong end of
a bullhorn?

************************
my poems don’t want
to heave one dew-soaked sigh
then die like mayflies

************************
want to watch poems
climb a half-inch Everest?
don’t call me

************************
make no teeny din—
let your poems rampage on stilts
like tornadoes

Just Freedom: An Interview with Illustrator Xuan Loc Xuan
by Aya Kusch

  I was first drawn to Xuan Loc Xuan’s mesmerizing illustrations on the cover of a book of poetry, E.J. Koh’s A Lesser Love. On this cover, a girl in a green dress takes measured steps across what seems to be an endless sea of lily pads. Since then, I have come to learn that […]

Index of Unfinished Things
by John Sibley Williams

a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished —  Amanda Gorman, “The Hill We Climb”   not far off / a refinery flares methane. targets scatter at a rifle’s clap & clamor. another empty silo at dusk & nothing / to be done about it. tonight the night dismantles / into its constitutional elements. white […]

fasting: recourse by Martyna Buliżańska
(Translated from Polish by Peter Burzynski)

(was there a war here?; a war like a rhapsody?) I rub away any traces; bald biblical women keep giving birth to me. I see that they stick their hands out the window and wave to passing ships. In this place I set the trap —this includes Kolbuszowa.1 By way of the barren Jewish fields […]
