Three Poems
Poetry by Clara Bulgherea

the angels, the muses, the duende
hoping, begging for its breath to coat
my poems…”
The Antinomian Fire This Time
Poetry by Ron Whitehead
“The bone man dances circles…
until he fills the room
with the smell of roses
and a pandemonium moon.”
Only So Much

“He knows
Only so much
Can be
Unwound.”
Four Poems
Poetry by Michael D. Amitin
“you send me valentines from afar
a cold shoulder when we're near
my heart is true as a headlight dear “
Selections from Brujeria

labios, y pecho.
Santificado
por tu brujería.”
