Writers from the Indiana Writers Center and the state of Indiana. Friday, March 27, 2015. This Remission, a poem by Bonnie Maurer. We discuss who gets what. I want Mom’s old Mixmaster,.

As a six year old in the family car. On vacation where we ended. Up at the Driftwood Motel—. Which fits this remission. Have found ...

Giving my arms no choice. She holds my T-shirt. Under the tap. I press. My bare, flat chest against the cool. Porcelain of the pedestal sink. To watch the fabric absorb and darken. She wrings it out. And up-nods her head—. Her subtle command for me to. Into the dark cool shirt. She sends me to bed,. The Indiana Writers...

Flying Island: November 2014

http://flyingislandjournal.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Writers from the Indiana Writers Center and the state of Indiana. Thursday, November 27, 2014. A poem from George Kalamaras. Feel free to induce me. Press your breath against my breath. Stick your finger down the lorikeet’s throat and expel the sleep medicines. Ask me for a blanket and I will produce a thread. We can each hold an end and vibrate a song in praise of pioneers. The Conestoga part of my heart can only let you in a little. Shadows across your face. If I a sheep, you, an Australian cattle dog.

Writers from the Indiana Writers Center and the state of Indiana. Thursday, October 16, 2014. A poem from Helen Townsend. How We Know Things. It is strange to see the sky dismantled. And lowered toward the ground. Pieces of fictional sky in the real sky,. Each billboard chunk hangs from a cord. As I imagine a blue topaz dangling. From the thinnest of white gold chains,. That’s when I make eye contact with you. Yours like green glass held up to the sun. Perhaps you see a green sea of milk,. The minister s...

Even This World Is Enough When Starlings Shimmer on the Grass. First dawnlight imagines my hands. Out of the dark, this ache to press. The air scrubbed after last night’s storm. Aside like a door. And all. We ply out into the sky,. Gliding, hovering, climbing again. As if we loved the far moon - -. Until the body tugs,. Poetry: up t...

Every year they come back. At camp. We sing “I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine.”. Aaa batter aaa batter aaa. I will be...

Writers from the Indiana Writers Center and the state of Indiana. Thursday, September 25, 2014. A poem from Brian Beatty. My granny always tithed. What remained of her. Social Security check at the end. Of each month to a few. Of her favorite radio evangelists. 8212; to help them reach out across. To touch more souls. With their holy healing powers. But I never saw her seal one cent. Addressed to any of those. She watched just as religiously. On a black-and-white set. Balanced in the window ledge. His po...
