New poems by Laux at Cerise

By Johnathon Williams on Nov 5, 2009

The fall/winter issue of Cerise Press is now online with two new poems from Dorianne Laux, among others. My favorite so far is Laux’s “The Cherry Tree.” An excerpt:

The birds are at the cherries, crying
and thrashing, tapping at the tough skins,
bathing in the juice. Their beaks are bright
with wine in this epoch, this season, this year
of the cherry, seeds that traveled by boat
from Asia Minor, rolling in the hull, cold
against the Black Sea, then poured by handfuls
into the soil at Plymouth.

Note to the editors: set yourselves up with an RSS feed so I can add Cerise to Swindle.
