VOICES FROM THE FIRE:Nathan Graziano
Manson’s Child When I was in the tenth grade, splattered with acne, I decided that I’d had enough of Catholicism and its steady stab of guilt. The next logical step was to devote myself to Lord Satan and master black magic. So I borrowed a book from the library on Aleister Crowley, hoping to learn Continue reading “VOICES FROM THE FIRE:Nathan Graziano”
VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Kappa Waugh
Benedictus Benedictine in a tiny bottle, tongue in, tongue out, mooning, dreaming, face of the boy who’d borrowed a dollar last week, but won’t speak to her now.

Audrey Hepburn’s faceContinue reading “VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Kappa Waugh”

Maybe the rumorsContinue reading “VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Andreas Fleps”
VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Kushal Poddar
The Roadkill You already have arisen to the steady sobbing. “Do you think her son is still locked inside?” I step out. Night has left its sanguine plumes on our staircase; its predator moans in the darkness; spring mates in the pollen ridden milieu with humid heat. No snivelling I hear.

VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Michael Lee Johnson
I’m a Riverboat Boy, Poem on Halsted Street As sure as church bells Sunday morning, ringing on Halsted and State Street, Chicago, these memories will be soon forgotten.
