Bonjour

Greg Grummer

Hello.
Solicitations and grief
from the pharaohs who stole our horses.

The Annunciation

Lisa Beskin

Everyone likes poems about FRANZ KAFKA! He steps in and imparts just the right lightness and weight. In this way KAFKA is like dressing for weather with no temperature.

Glassworks

Caroline Knox

They were boiling pans of gunge to eventually make soap, and supposedly there were “towering shard-rucks of spoiled pots,”
in the early Wedgewood manufactories. Keir the Scotsman was responsible for a lot of this:
he isolated slowly cooled glass crystals

Kafka Cooks Dinner

Lydia Davis

I am so filled with despair as the time grows near when she will come and I have not even begun to make a decision about what I will offer her. I am so afraid I will fall back on the Kartoffel Surprise, and it’s no surprise to her anymore. I mustn’t, I mustn’t.

Aggressive Glass and Mirrors

Diane Williams

“I didn’t know he was famous,” my husband said. 
I said, “He said all he knew is that he wanted to be famous.” I had praised Yves. 
Later that night I glared at my husband. The time limit was a few seconds. I think when you’re younger the first idea you have is that adults want to talk. 

Little House

Jean Valentine

Little house
clay house

thousands of funeral smell
