JONATHAN MOODY
Like a booster detached from a shuttle, my body/ Ended up in an ocean while fog enshrouded my mind. / Xanax never made me feel that unsteady; it just didn’t / Agree with Lamictal.
JONATHAN MOODY
don’t feel ashamed after your lover has suggested / other ways to be intimate: like learning how to speak Urdu so that on sleepless nights / you can recite Ghalib’s ghazals to her while holding hands near the mango tree
Issue 08 contributors Antonio Monda and Ian Bassingthwaighte read and discuss their stories “Am I Speaking to Hyman Roth?” and “Reichelt’s Parachute.”
