Haggard and Halloo,
Its come to our attention that we have a plagiarist among us. One of our contributors who goes by the name of Annie Rink (aka Ariana Rink) has been passing off poems as her own that she has not written. Moreover, she may have been stealing your poems from H and H and [...]

Editorial Note: We receive many strange things in our submissions folder and it’s no secret we don’t post political poems, but this slice of propaganda arrived today from someone in Sri Lanka. We felt moved to post this very odd and completely irrelevant submission today. So far all of our Sri Lanka readers, heads up! [...]

We’re still building out the site and making additions to the system, but we’re adding content on a daily basis. Feel free to spread the word to any musicians [...]

AWE APPROACHES
by gerard sarnat
I. “Fall Foliage”
Up an old familiar hill this October of my life,
I leave behind aches and coughs that hold me down,
turn off the phone, let go. Mountains nibble my head.
Returning deep deep inside, traveling

Another Death at St. David’s Hospital
by diy danna
Feeling the lump on the back of her neck,
She prays to be home by sunrise.

by floyd crenshaw

dogs and
‘catch! ‘ and
kids and
‘you’re out! ‘ and
‘no, i’m not.’ and
my so-so sighs.
waiting for
pleasing lies and
a few awkward moments and
those cute rebounds and
cigarettes and
beer and
food and
you getting sauce all over and
asking for extra napkins and
me getting [...]
