new poetry and poetics edited by brian kim stefans - Arras.net

It wasn’t that you hated me, but everything about me.
Self-censorship —rarely practiced by the right people.
A liberal reaction of the embarrassed subjectivity.
“Before October, Formalism was a vegetable in season.”
1994: 1.3659.
“You’re looking at one Canadian —he’s got pressures.”
The aliens were gentle but did not offer me a permanent position.
Or just thanks for the hostility.
“U.S. dollar in Canadian dollars, average noon spot rate.”
When one’s minimums are not being met.
“On the one hand, we applaud your decision to opt for suspenders instead of a
belt.”
Is all language exoticizing?
“I wanted.”
