I'll be in the next issue of Spark to Flame this June! I can't wait to share the pantoum I made from someone else's spark, and to see the piece someone created from a spark I submitted!

This letter from Essex Hemphill to Audre Lorde AFTER she died from breast cancer is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read.

The new issue of Spark to Flame is out! My poem "Adultery Pantoum" is included, based off a spark from Mahailey Oliver, so check it out:

I am grateful to my collaborators for the poems we made in this issue of Spark to Flame: "Pour one out for my unreliable narrator," with Angela Gonzalez, and "fire," from a series with show pony makin a return. Both texts combine prose blocks with verse fragments

I have two poems in the new issue of Twin Bird Review. You can read my MST3K-inspired poem "I Have Terminal Enchantment Right Now" and my prose poem "Entombed" here: twinbirdreview.com/carrigan-glen-…

First up from Issue Five is “Outside the Garden” by Allison Burris (Flame) and Elizabeth Wing (Spark): “this love you’re looking for / is like giving butterfly kisses” Check it out, page 5: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

I love “The Truth About Mushrooms” by Michael Kellichner (Flame) and Van Rung (Spark): “Grief, then, the hidden mycelium / linking us all together.” Check it out! Page 6: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

“...& maybe there is a world that doesn’t rotate at the pace of mass death…” “fire” by mosh pit daria and D.W. Baker is a poem that burns. Check it out, page 7: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

“The radio songs all distilled the same sweetsick shit / about the shaky meatblood heart.” The journey “Threshold” by Elizabeth Wing (Flame) and 🤎🩵𝓴𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷🩵🤎 (Spark) takes readers on is wonderful and wild. Check it out, page 8: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

Love love love “Pour one out for my unreliable narrator” by D.W. Baker (Flame) and Angela Gonzalez (Spark): “...//use your skin as a puppet//who are you if not here//…” Check it out, page 9: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

The use of the form in “Adultery Pantoum” by Alex Carrigan (Flame) and Mahailey Oliver (Spark) makes this piece so potent! Check it out, page 10: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

“We know what happens to a dream / deferred / but what about / a love led awry?” Love “Fleeting” by Mahailey Oliver (Flame) and Angela Heiser (Spark). Check it out, page 11: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

“Mother Memory” by Jaydn Hayes (Flame) and Giada Pesce (Spark) is so potent--evoking memory, ancestors, and generational ties. Check it out, page 12: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

“Draught” by Giada Pesce (Flame) and Jake Williams (Spark) is surprising yet alluring. “It is a vast, vibrating land / Of scorching red.” Check it out, page 13: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…

Issue Five closes with “Little Sapling”--a beautiful meditation on our relationship to nature by 🤎🩵𝓴𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷🩵🤎 (Flame) and Michael Kellichner (Spark). Check it out, page 14: s2fjournal.com/assets/Issues/…
