Julia Drescher's Birds of Paradise





















Birds of Paradise







Excerpt:


Was hewn some

‘Unnatural’ being

Hues blended

Doubtfully begun

& ended the gun

was idle I was

too astonished



to shoot

Julia Cohen's 1 + Scattered=Zero














Julia Cohen 1 + Scattered=Zero







Cover and inside art by Larry Lorca.


Excerpt:


Everyone I Knew In High School Is Dead


The egg fell onto the flashlight’s head,
a sound colder than outer space. When you
have an accident with an already-dead object
I can’t finish my sentence. I swung a stomach
I wished for one of those strangle bracelets
Grades melted under the radiator like
a doll on behalf of itself. The itch
of washer-dryer tags. We rejected
blood clots, are we tidal waves in the library
I card cataloged you until I could forget
& then find you again in the index
My leaking house, come back out
of the cake basement

and I would open by Jill Stengel






















NOW AVAILABLE:





and I would open






EXCERPT:

having lost
train of thought

train wreck
collision
airbus crash into water

one, two
twenty-three skidoo

A flies twice weekly

force away thoughts
build little houses of brick
huff-puff wolves, stay out

Michael Slosek's Holding Place

I hope you haven't been holding your breath. Please breathe.







Holding Place











Excerpt from the title poem, Holding Place



Held to, the dust in the wall
as a day to introduce.

The lines lean in upon
the ones and twos.

For casks in the blood
before dusk makes purpose.

Moving along the one
square, broken from

a house in cards. The seams
no longer visible.

Tracks by Logan Ryan Smith







Tracks











ypolita press is back! Now Available: Logan Ryan Smith's Tracks. Pre-orders (and regular orders) will now be shipped out in the coming week.

Sample Poem:

Inside the car
I can’t see the tracks
or what’s outside
can only feel the shaking
of the lights and mirrored
windows reflecting my
loose jaw and dumb tongue
vibrating ceaselessly
with all the meat
attached to these
spasmodic bones

I can’t hear anything
but the leper’s senseless jabber
and ghosts’ whirring
and Echo
Echo
Echo squealing
outside
ahead
of the headlights
