This September, Associate Editor Benjamin Bartu curates poems by Latinx poets.
“Before wishes they were trees. / Three flat rooted pines under her breath,”
“In every dim stroke of lightning I saw the touch / of your hand,”
“The star you watched / each night has burned out”
“It was a long summer, then / a long autumn, without walls.”
“Nevermind the shattered glass / on the front porch.”
“Flashes / of nacre rising from silt; another name / for the buried mother.”
“You might say that in lieu of my fury, / this poem contains questions.”
“Beneath / my father’s horror, I saw a kind of joy”
