High Seriousness

1/20/2019

 
Picture
In the mail yesterday arrived some copies of Alabama Literary Review 2018, which includes two new poems of mine, "On a Cocktail Umbrella" and "High Seriousness."  ALR has a policy of distributing print copies and also publishing a .pdf of the complete issue online (past issues, including 2016-2017, which feature a significant amount of my work, are available online).  I will post a link to the complete issue, when it becomes available.  For the moment, however, click the link to receive a .pdf of my poems.  A late stanza from "High Seriousness": 
​
We need, in fact, to be thrown down, horse bolting,
And blinded by the gravid flash of truth,
Which suffers no glib smiling, if we’re ever
    To heed our calling.
