The new issue of La Petite Zine is up, and it’s chock full of good stuff.
Like this gem from Brooklyn Copeland, for instance:
To find the dagger a blessing
daggers find us tripping
onto praise—
pleasestop singing mine—
April’ s
god’s a gun
I get the irony here, of course, praising Brooklyn’s poem “Straddling the Ides,” a poem that asks, “please // stop singing mine.” (Sorry, Brooklyn.)
Or this one from Anne Marie Rooney, titled “Film Mind“:
This is an idea,
Let it holler open in your skin, let it let
My mastery in, let it out.
I’m off the ‘net for now, making a short trip to Jacksonville, but I hope you make our way over to LPZ to read these poems in full and to check out the rest of this issue–you won’t be disappointed.
