Jeannie Vanasco: I want to be wrong in a beautiful way

October 28, 2014 by PBQ

like the stagehands who wheeled out the sun when the actor was under the moon; like the scientist who thought the seeds of trees blown into the sea make birds— “I have seen them fly from the waters,” he wrote; like me saying my father died last night— he died ten years ago; like Newton […]

October 28, 2014 by PBQ

Window                                                displays exposed  their pressure-points to us.                        We gutted                              dust-kilned diners, […]

Liz Robbins: Arithmetic Mean

October 28, 2014 by PBQ

A school bus full of kids skids off a sleet highway and never will we forget the smell of green vinyl seats marked with graffiti. No one, not even the rain, has such small hands! Nor washes clean memories of the bloodyard, the plus and minus bullies. Two kids break through windows, and nothing will […]
