A poem by Tim Staley
I’ve read enough women poets to know
they bleed for life
and men bleed against it.
I buried the soldier in me
like a placenta that still
pulses underground.
Lynn Strongin says,
tough-minded poetry
will necessarily
be the most triumphant
in the end.
A mind isn’t tough at all,
it’s blown to shreds in a second.

When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Perhaps there is one book for every life. One book with the power to reflect and illuminate that life; one book that will forever inform how we navigate the little strip of time we are given, while also helping us to clarify and catch hold of its most vital moments.
–Katherine Smyth
It’s terrible that Liam Neeson thought about committing a hate crime. However, it should be noted, Mark Wahlberg ACTUALLY committed hate crimes.

A Poem by R. Gerry Fabian
The exhaust fan
pulls in your scent
like a bloodhound.
Summer’s humid night
refuses to move
in any direction.
In your sleep,
you whimper love.
The weather forecaster
says there is
no relief in sight.
Too often they are wrong.
