Maggy

2010-01-15T18:12:00.011-05:00

When I was twenty-five years old I helped edit a magazine called Maggy. On the last day of 2009 we trudged through snow to pick up 200 copies of Maggy. Then we sat in an apartment and read the first line of each poem. We made some phone calls. That night we gathered in Brooklyn and said hello to the farms.

And now our gloves are attached to the sleeves of our coats.

Love,
A

But Untitled

But I am a tiny speck on the south side of the moon. But I am not part of the diaspora. But I participate in the reconstruction of the genus species. But I am not in love. But I am terribly in love. But for one dark corner my house is full of lamps. But for the generation that favors tabloids where would I be. But for you how would I sleep.
