A few days ago, this went live: http://sporkpress.com/fiction/?p=951 - a few more prose poems from What Weaponry.
Almost everything I have ever read at Spork Press I have loved; today I read this: http://sporkpress.com/fiction/?p=794 - Knots by Sam Ramos. It is beautiful. This is from that:
It is the longing for a moment free from time and its cold meter. It is the pained desire for a place with no loss.
The Slim Beauty Knot ties down all things wanted and loved so they will never be missed.
