In Caridad Moro-Gronlier’s debut collection, Tortillera, she not only applies the term to herself, she owns it... more

Drifters

by Stuart Jay Silverman

THE AUTHOR CLEARS HIS THROAT

A drift of snow, adrift in a sea of speculation,

turning over the flotsam and jetsam of the macro world,

speaking with Nano rising from and sinking back

into the abyss... . Though I don't much like Poe's

of a whaling ship, the faithful dog turned savage,

mutiny, the final, fanciful emergence ... more
