Today's Poem-a-Day is Allison Benis White’s “Description of Symptoms.” The language here is derived of silence, and returns to it, changed.

Description of Symptoms

Now my hands buried / in my hair, resting on piano keys

For today's Poem-a-Day, we have Lisa Olstein’s “Horse,” a poem written in a single sentence, in mostly 3 or 4 beat lines, with line breaks that move us down the page like a horse (or a woman) picking their way along a path strewn with stones.

Who's going to make the macaroni salad for the wake after democracy's funeral? I'll bring store-bought rolls, the kind with the crucifix made of frosting. Meanwhile, trending on Twitter, Project Runway.

A poem on the theme of "treat" for @corditepoetry . Candy Darling makes an appearance.

Better than to receive a treat, I would like to know the taste of a treat in someone else’s mouth

or in something else’s mouth. The musk of a shrew in a snake’s jaw. The scales of a snake under the bobcat’s fangs. The polio vaccine-saturated sugar cube melting away in a kid’s mouth. What glee, …
