Lori Lamothe: Virtual Botticelli

February 5, 2015 by PBQ

The model on the refrigerator door emerges out of the sea like Venus after a tummy tuck and a boob job. Nobody’s floating in from the wings to cover that body with a scarlet cloak and if there are any zephyrs on the scene they’re off camera splicing that baby-smooth butt with the selfies their […]

Sarah Freligh: A Review of Teresa Leo’s Bloom in Reverse

August 5, 2014 by PBQ

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus suggests that the “only really serious philosophical question . . . is suicide.” Sisyphus is condemned to push a boulder uphill only to see it roll back. In the wake of a loved one’s suicide, the living are left to puzzle over unfathomable loss, the metaphorical rock that […]

Lisa McCool-Grime: Inauguration Under Andy Warhol’s Jackie

June 16, 2014 by PBQ

Everybody wears denim. A skirt embroidered with cornflowers for Dollbaby. Jackets for the boys. A hair bow for Thunderthighs who flaps her arms above her head to scare off the scrub jay that flits between her ponytail and Bigmouth’s shoulder. Foureyes and Dogbreath have masked their faces with the flag of South Carolina. It all […]

Adam Jerome Williams: Desire (Insomnia)

June 16, 2014 by PBQ

Once, awake in a dark room four stories above Brooklyn, I heard, clearly, the voice of a subway conductor urging his passengers to be patient, they would continue soon. It was late – a light drizzle, streets deserted, F train buried deep beneath Church Avenue. I shook the woman beside me to ask if she […]

Daneen Wardrop: The Art of War

June 12, 2014 by PBQ

Early morning claymation of birds clogging the backyard, low gargle of mourning dove– Trees are vaults to fit into an easy second, they pass us in swells of untightening. Touch for us, wandering for them: an eye unclutches. Inside the vacant TV screen an arm raises against– How it turns into a rip before it […]
