Sitting on the dock, plastic bags look like jellyfish underwater. There’s a piano buried in sand behind the thrift store. The guys at the candy shop do drugs in a backroom. Love the collage too! Read @ggriffiss in @SinkingCity!

“You take plane flights to untangle yourself. I pull hair from the shower drain.” Oof. I read this poem from top to bottom and then from bottom to top. The multi-talented @ggriffiss in @SinkingCity

I’ll miss my friend Maureen so very much. To me, it always felt like she brought poetry and lightness and a gentle spirit with her all the time. If you don’t know her work, just choose one of her many, many books and get started, and you’ll see what I mean. 💔

“the air thick with the scent of garlic and injustice” Wow. A stunner by @lisamcantwell in @SinkingCity!

honored to have my poem “quiet” in the latest issue of @SinkingCity - with gratitude to @megan_ritchie and the whole wonderful team! sinkingcity.as.miami.edu/lisa-cantwell/
