I have had good // Luck in love. —Noelle Kocot

Kristi,

The raccoon

You saw curled

Up beside the road

On the way to work——

You sent me a picture and

I drove out with a cardboard box

I ended up not needing. He was already

Being tended to, a woman on the phone waiting

For the professionals to arrive. I’m so glad our lives

found their cahoots in 2017, the summer of Twin Peaks &

The most brutal depression of my life. My bones didn’t have a

Reason to meet the sun. Then one night, at 11:11 exactly, drunk as

Thomas, I tweeted any poets wanna fall in love. 8 minutes later, you replied.

Introducing RECLAIMED WATER by Tom Snarsky

In Reclaimed Water, his second full-length collection of poems, Tom Snarsky rinses the familiar and holds it up, glistening, to the light. With off-beat humor and a refusal to ignore our own complicity in creating the current precarious crossroads, he articulates a poetics devoted to awareness that author and readers alike are inextricable from a complex of flows connecting everything on this planet. How might we save our damaged world (and selves) if we go beyond the binary of resource and waste? By Snarsky’s reckoning, reclamation is a form of care. What’s used and discarded persists, our textual ephemera also, as flotsam taken up and given new purpose inseparable from the old. Reclaimed Water is the work of a poet living in the present, restlessly searching for answers to vexing questions. Snarsky’s poems are both serious and playful; they frequently break free of their confines. The many-gendered mothers of poetry (& the poet) are omnipresent, influences undisguised, and the dead welcomed in like lost friends.

Pub. day: August 1, 2023

“I won’t be able to write from the grave” , so let me give you a list of things I like: peppermint tea soaked in ginger and lemon, freshly baked bread, the scent of dew mixed with early morning rain, love, the slow and intentional kind, kindness, truth, covenant promise keepers, all things holy, music , art, poetry, date nights with the one I love, stillness at midnight, half asleep kisses , curious hands in love, and faint light from a nightstand.

All the things I like by Leonie Anderson

We Are The Minison Project

We’ve decided to bite the bullet and join the gremlins here on tumblr!

Who are we? Hmm, yeah… guess we should have started with that.

The Minison Project is technically an independent literary organization, but you’ll see us refer to ourselves as a literary magazine! Founded in 2020 by Melissa Ashley Hernandez, our small indie team runs a few projects throughout the year:

> the minison zine — a zine originally based on the “minison” poetry form (a form created by Tom Snarsky and Jo Ianni.) Now we include all different variations of the form, including sonnets!

> TMP Magazine — A classic literary magazine dedicated to publishing all kinds of work from literary pieces to visual art (yes, that includes comics!)

> Blog — Our blog where we post articles, interviews, movie/song/book reviews, editorials, etc. We accept article and interview queries on our submissions page.

> MiniPress — A publishing press under The Minison Project umbrella that (at this point in time) publishes print anthologies.

We’ll use tumblr as a sort of mood board, as well as posting important submissions info on here, but if you want more information about us, check out our website!

Or give us a follow on Twitter, Instagram, and/or Facebook!

6/1

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

#24GloPoWriMo

Prompt Dated : 2024 April 1

Response No : 1

Poem No: 6

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Prompt : A poem that recounts the plot, or some portion of the plot, of a novel that you remember having liked but that you haven’t read in a long time.

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Featured Poem :

A Sword

Grant me this in the darkness,

Stay the chattering din.

Shrug off the weighted judgment

Spark the light within.

When words are weapons of terror

When scorn is a theatre of war

Let my wit time unknit in the furor

Heart’s wisdom that came before.

The guard derelicts their duty

The magistrate strays from his word

It falls to my pals to protect me

Together we wield the sword.

Poetry Resource :

Tom Snarsky’s X account

This year, our poetry resources will focus on social media accounts (though we’ll have a few other things, too) that regularly post poems from books, magazines, and elsewhere, letting you discover new-to-you poets, and just get a quick fix of poetry from time to time. Today’s resource is the twitter account of the poet Tom Snarsky, where you will find a plethora of poems to peruse!

Is it true

that only by having first passed

through absolute despair

can we arrive at anything close

to self-knowing?

Carl Phillips

Then the War

From

Tom Snarsky’s Twitter Account

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Prompt :

Today, we’d like to challenge you to write – without consulting the book – a poem that recounts the plot, or some portion of the plot, of a novel that you remember having liked but that you haven’t read in a long time.

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Poem Title :

The Book Whose Title I Forget

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Was it a vision, or a waking dream ?

Funny thing is, I forget its name,

I mean the title of the book.

Some very ordinary word

or phrase, obviously.

It was about this girl,

this child growing up,

her mother dead,

and her father and her grandfather

fighting for her custody

perhaps also for her love

though her father is a man

of no emotion

while her grandfather

has an excess of it

with the added sadness

of her mother too

having grown up without a mother

for most of her childhood.

You find yourself identifying

with this growing child

shuttling between

the cold austere widower’s world

of her honest but vain

selfish and unemotional

strict and self- absorbed

father

and her warm angry troubled grandfather

owner of a decaying inherited estate

in North Bihar

ravaged by floods

suffering from neglect

as he struggles to come to terms

with the death of a daughter he loved

but could never understand

and a grand- daughter

whose father he hates

but whose loyalty he wants

though it hurts that she is so much

like the daughter he never understood

and the wife whom he adored

but who died too young.

That house

Those gilt sofas with their brocade covers split

and the plastic foam bursting out in places

Those crimson velvet curtains

musty with the smell of flood waters

never fully dried out

a fat grey- green- black lizard clinging

to their tasselled golden cords

That Bhutanese carpet

with a puffing Chinese dragon fading out

as mould catches hold of it

Those Burmese teak floors

and the green patina on the copper fleur de lys

adorning the black rails of the estate boundary wall

three of which, enlarged,

formed the picture on the book cover—

I remember them vividly.

And I remember speculating about who the girl was

among the real life people I know.

I often recall the story

and wonder why it stays with me

though I do not remember its title

or the name of the author,

or even the names of the characters.

I remember the name of the river : Kosi.

What compels memory

so selectively,

so strongly ?

( ASA )
