Death Styles 9.2

Joyelle McSweeney

in your sleep you repeat the motion of advancing, retracting of flinging wide your nets to net the moon but like every tide you fail like a pulsing star you signal like a star you fail to hide behind your signal

from the journal ITERANT

Conversation: "I have learned that the right time to write love poetry to a burning world is when it is burning—and it’s always burning."

What Sparks Poetry

Ecopoetry Now

What Sparks Poetry is a serialized feature that explores experiences and ideas that spark the writing of new poems.

In Ecopoetry Now, invited poets engage in an ecopoetic conversation across borders. In poems and poetics statements, their work describes important local differences, including bioregion and language, as well as a shared concern for the Earth. We hope to highlight poetry’s integral role in creating and sustaining a broadly ecological imagination that is most alive when biologically, culturally, and linguistically diverse.

This week's issue: M. L. Smoker on “Heart Butte, Montana”

Poem with Bleating Heart

Robert Wood Lynn

memory for continuing to be the past with a leak in it somehow I love you a little better every day surprised by it each morning the way I am always surprised by how goats make the sound of drunks making goat noises
