I only manage to stay small by making giants out of strangers

My poems "And a Sleep Full of Sweet Dreams" and "Uncle Sonya" are now available in the latest issue of The Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first came out of Greek myth and insomnia and was written in a doctor's waiting room, the second when [personal profile] shewhomust correctly located Fox's name for me within the canon of mysteriously unwritten Chekhov plays. The remainder of the issue includes poems by Gwynne Garfinkle, Mark Rich, and Sofía Rhei translated by Lawrence Schimel, flash fiction by Nancy Jane Moore, and all manner of essays, reviews, and memorials by the usual suspects. Check it out!

Links of interest to me in the last few days:

1. Rising anti-Semitism in Boston.

2. Louis F. Post vs. the Palmer Raids.

3. A pigeon in a nest of poppies.

Congratulations of the poems!

Well, those are certainly two depressing articles to read in a row, for all Post comes in at the end of the second one to save the day (somewhat). But thank you for linking them – I hadn't known about either story. (I mean, I'm aware of growing anti-semitism nationwide, but not the specific Boston fires.) At least there's poppy pigeon!
