1. His camera absorbing the veld to expose its slow, tectonic motion, to let the inevitable gazelles graze the film as he rests easy, sleeping in emerging wheat . . . 2. Six years they coexisted in his case, symbiotic within silver slivers, as if forsaking faith in days to date in the negative. 3….
for J.L. Thanks for your fan letter—I’ve built a shrine. I was up all night thinking of you up all night studying my use of slant and internal rhyme in A Shoemaker’s Dystopia. By line 317 the scheme I fear is obvious, so I was giddy as salmon at spawn that you found my little…
I’d Really Rather Be / In Authentic City for ukulele and voice Authentic Cowboys, authentic cats. Authentic clowns in paper hats. Authentic mountains, authentic lakes. Authentic clouds, authentic fakes. An authentic breeze luffs the sail, parts the hair on your authentic head. Your life you live authentically, Your death you die, authentic, dead. Call us…
