“I am astonished by the level of invention that poets demonstrate — and yet fiction writers get so much more credit for making stuff up!”
Our next featured poet is one and only Chen Chen!!! Currently typesetting our interview and feeling a plethora of emotions.
It's the world as a burst intestine; the always of the slow alphabet of rain; the rhyme of 'memory' and 'emery' after the trickling from 'air' to 'hair'; and the interior of those final three lines, the sparking, the incredible harm.
This poem by @JaredPovanda in @onlypoemsmag is really, really spectacular. Just...wow.
Off the path
white bones lance a village of mushrooms. The blackbirds have been
and gone. What I know
I know without help: By now
the dead carry different names.

Our Poem of the Month for Earth Day is an absolute stunning poem. I invite teachers and workshop-holders to look at it so they can start teaching it in their classes!
