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. She slips her fingers past her waistband, a new face, the man who fingered her five years ago during that movie The Nun’s Story. Audrey Hepburn’s faceContinue reading “VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Kappa Waugh”
VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Emalisa Rose
The pipedream of permanence These rocks wear our names in a pipedream of permanence. Yet somewhere we’ve buried our cabernet moon, our clinking of glasses, rhyme over reason. The sun steals our shadow. I sent you two poems, penned in the frenzy of midnight and madness; our signatures linked in the marquise’s italics. Turnaround/turnaround. TheContinue reading “VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Emalisa Rose”

VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Steven Dee Kish
Bad Friends I flip open my zippo lighter…flick …flick… The orange flame lights my Kent cigarette; the smell of tobacco fills the air. I grab a church key and open a bottle of beer.

Our third release for National Poetry Month which is not spread sheet poetry… Now when one ofContinue reading “SMALL GESTURES FROM BIG HANDS”
VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Cord Moreski
True Believer for Alicia Purpura It’s quite an honor catching you in the act ducking out of another crowded party in the wee hours of the morning road soda in one hand handlebar in the other riding gracefully down the sidewalk singing, “East Coast! Fuck You!”
CONSIDER THIS, APRIL CRUELTY BEGINS
with our first release… Roz Washington returns with a new collection of poetry ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, picking up where SUNLIFE left off. New destinations, new encounters both real and imaginary, varying phases of contemplation and a journey into a Bradbury-esque cosmos engineered by Jules Vernes. Take a walk on the wildside where even the mostContinue reading “CONSIDER THIS, APRIL CRUELTY BEGINS”
APRIL CRUELTY IS COMING
That’s right, National Poetry Month is on the horizon and April is cruel, poet and publishers punishing each other and themselves alike… First on the agenda…Editor in Chief Mike Zone will be attending St. Augustine PoetFest (brainchild of Chris Bodor)…taking part in a discussion panel regarding Poets and Change (essentially poetry and politics), then there’sContinue reading “APRIL CRUELTY IS COMING”
