practicing not-poetry
Excited for two poems from my next book to appear in American Poetry Review.
“Hurt Boy
I find you, and I tire of you
I tire of your rag-and-bone doctrine:
how any bloom ends in dry slaughter—
don’t you see beauty isn’t twice itself for being fleet?”
From “Like a Reed Made of Grass” by Nathan Fako in ISSUE 29!

This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
so happy to have a poem in @westtradereview.bsky.social ! such a beautiful and special issue to me (this is the first poem I ever had accepted for publication)
