  • Gilgamesh (What the Sumerians Seem to Have Missed)
    • In the words of the editors: “Where has this poem been all our lives? If reading Sumerian myth has been on your to-do list but you’ve never gotten around to it, start here — after feasting on this work we think you’ll seek out the source material without delay.”
  • The Decline of the Beat Poets
    • Or, if you have a real emergency, / you can call, and a poet will come to your house / and talk about himself for half an hour.”
  • My Last Seattle Poem (the Beginning of Landscape)
    • Morning is like a foreign country: no one I know is there.
  • Earth Day
    • From Aria Kalsan Anthology: Mysteries of the Future. Worlds-weary traveler Kaia MareImbrium finds solace when very far from home.

    • A modern ghazal: one man’s longing for a faraway love, expressed in snapshots of the universe, from near and far.
