I have two poems in the May/June 2014 issue of Zygote in my Coffee.
Warning: These guys are crazy.
Here is the Contents Page.
The Poems are called Pressing & Miscalculations before Reflection. They are both about Youth, living too hard and going crazy.

Limited stock. Stay tuned!
I like "thrusts rage into a sulking corner" both for its powerful wording and the cathartic effect it would give me were I able to do so.
ReplyDeleteYour second poem reads like many college kids' experiences. I kinda wished I'd had those carefree, wild, wreckless nights, but I'm relieved I didn't.
Well done, sharply human - as always, Anthony. It looks like a fun e-publication. CONGRATULATIONS! xo
Like the line about urgency blunting the senses, as people in a rush don't see. Like the other poem about not reflecting on youth too, there's too much to be embarrassed about.
ReplyDeleteI like them both Anthony. You struck a chord.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I spent about two decades living like that and worse. That was followed by about five years of therapy and counseling trying to learn how to have some genuine feelings.
