Perfect poem for today
And in your mind, there are horizons,
but hurry—now it’s time to go.
—Ying Wu
but hurry—now it’s time to go.

We Call It Targeted Operations by Ying Wu - Rattle: Poetry
because abstractions make it easier
on mornings when you’re running late—
when the lid is stuck,
and the toast is burnt,
and your child hates her pleated,
pin-striped, poplin uniform.

Fantasy buffs: Don't miss out on early access to this book!
Hey #WritingCommunity and #readingcommunity, I’m still looking for #ARC #readers for THE FLOATING CASTLE. It’s a dark, epic #fantasy perfect for your autumn reads. Reviews left on Goodreads would be deeply appreciated before the launch of the book and at retailers after the launch.

I'm really jazzed to be featured on Poets Respond. It's the coolest spot on the Internet. Go read some current events poems!
Did death
come for them the way it came for her: slow,

When the Tomahawk Missile Blinked by JaLeah Hedrick - Rattle: Poetry
out the lives of eleven people allegedly
transporting drugs across the Gulf, I was
in my bed, asleep, though never deeply,
my body never stops anticipating a flare
in the dark.
