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 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.

THE PIGEON IN THE NEST OF POPPIES.

If you consider that pigeons are a type of dove, it feels like symbols are coming to life and roaming the Earth.

(Congratulations on the poems! What an excellent-looking issue)

Re: your first link: I see it, and am angry, and want to do something useful and I'm not sure what (other than going to solidarity events when they happen).

“He struggled without ceasing to preserve our liberties and to enlarge them. He resisted the clamor of stupid intolerance. He exposed its shameful, ruthless lawlessness.”

What a great thing to have done, what an important thing to remember.

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!
