April Highlights

  • this little ghost

    by Nicole Zwolinski

    “Nobody told me the havoc, and / agony a screaming uterus / could bestow upon a / woman.”

  • words for muzak, perhaps

    by Nash Keune

    “There’s a Rothko hung behind the front desk / On the entry floor, the unnumbered floor, / Just a hallway to the elevators. / A huge rectangle of mushed up blood red / Another thin black sideways one on top.”

  • candy-coated rigor mortis

    by Luz Aida Rodriguez

    “Candy-coated rigor mortis / I keep the body under my bed / Strawberry shortcake, unicorn spit / It all floats inside of my head”

  • preserved in this jug of milk

    by Allison Noonan

    “Riding down the glass road, / cool air beating my face blue, / I think about how I’ll find my way back, someday. / Later, I’ll floss the bugs from between my teeth.” 

  • intrusive thoughts around an open window

    by Alex Carrigan

    “The thoughts pound into you like a railroad spike. / You try to ignore the blood pooling in your eye, but / the thoughts demand you lay down for them.”
