I never thought I’d write a WWI poem, but an encounter with a neglected monument on Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California inspired this. Thank you, John Hennessy and @commonmag.

“in these scabbed wet woods, this
lost December light. Everything

you touch is dying today, not dramatically
but listlessly. All mulched out. Only

your hooves keep their shape
in the darkness…”

From “Hoof Fungus” by Becki Hawkes in ISSUE 29!

Reading an old anthology, I was struck by a few poems by Ellen de Young Kay. A student of Yvor Winters, I learned, whose chapbook SIXTEEN POEMS appeared in 1955. Soon after, she seemed to have vanished… Actually, she had become Sister Ellen Stephen. And she still writes.

On Friday night "Atrocity: A Literary History" received the René Wellek Prize from the American Comparative Literature Association. I knew it was happening, but I forgot to take a photo. If there's anyone out there who did, I'd be grateful.
