The fourw 25 print anthology is released each year by the Booranga Writers Centre at Charles Sturt University in Australia. This year it features work by myself, Mark Young, Derek Motion, Ivy Alvarez and others. You can obtain a copy by writing to booranga@csu.edu.au. From the anthology:
MANAYUNK SKY
Facades on Main Street have a lift
towards it, but the Manayunk sky
isn’t there, a mirage, a conglomeration
of spent wishes for a better human future
which can never be lived in the blackened
glare of well-trodden pavement. Its
expanse argues loudly for the subaltern
and its accessibility, a superior up
is down, a superior blue is black,
a superior open is packed tight
into a closed linearity, night’s deep
recess. Now, I take the trouble
to interrogate pavement, which
can only deny truths of not-surface, hotly.
