everytime i begin to do something / something else intervenes,

Bernadette Mayer
SUNDAY APRIL 13 a clear cold sunny day, beautiful to some, horrible to others. we’re making maple syrup again, smoke is rising from the evaporator, it’s hearty, everytime i begin to do something something else intervenes, i wouldn’t even think this if i weren’t in the mood to have the thought. bernadette mayer, in a rush to put down her weird thoughts, like everybody tells her to, writes down too much, only a fraction of which is even ever read because she is so disorganized, plus she has had a brain hemorrhage, rendering her even more mixed up in her constant thinking, and she has lost the fine motor coordination in her right hand—she can’t handwrite. she has to cook the chicken liver while phil is not in the kitchen. at the moment her left knee is so fucked she can barely walk, making the long bushwhacking walks in the country that were able to salvage her sanity, impossible. she tries to do what others suggest but now she just plods on. it’s the last straw, hobbling from room to room, hoping for change. she is lost but has no choice she can’t attempt suicide again for fear of failing. she will cook the liver. she also cooks two pierogi, eats them & sits in the sun

NEW POEM #208: "Reading Joan Didion in the Condo in Red River" by Angela Janda (@angelajanda.bsky.social)

"at Chapter 17 the recognition was a full
circle, was an egg in my mouth, how in all the years
since the divorce I’d never grieved it, not properly"

I will have a poem in issue 14. :) Consider pre-ordering!
stanchion.bsky.social Stanchion @stanchion.bsky.social · Nov 16
I pay magazine contributors without charging fees & without asking for donations.

This is only possible because people who love literature & art believe that beautifully printed magazines have worth & are worth buying.

The pre-order sale for Issue 14 is on.
