“I Have Blamed Myself Unnecessarily When Things Went Wrong” by Erika Wright
“I dream my own death
My family downstairs—
translucent, spilling light,
watching TV with the volume high.”
Review of An Exodus of Sparks by Eileen Pettycrew
“Allisa Cherry’s debut collection, An Exodus of Sparks, offers readers a riveting account of faith, loss, and fierce familial love. Using vivid and precise detail, clear syntax, and a diction both biblical and contemporary, Cherry achieves an emotional clarity that sizzles on the page and cuts to the heart.”
“Kamiokande” by Kim Cope Tait
“In the city of Hida, there is an
underground mine, dark nest for a stainless
steel observation tank. Deep below sand,
rock, soil: a way to know stars—yes, of course.”
