Three works published today

[Ann Kammerer]

I had three works published today in One Art: A Journal of Poetry.

Check them out if so inclined. All three are from an unpublished chapbook I wrote during the baseball playoffs/world series. All the 11 works that make-up the chappy appeared on OAF, but have been lightly edited in the interim.

Thank you everyone for the comments and the company. Here's the link:

These are three GREAT poems. Absolutely great. In Robin, this is such perfect line:

how
they could’ve been
All-State,
if only Mom
had married
someone else.

Also, in Rookie, this:

“Hey.
Listen to me,” he said.
You’re supposed
to be my sister.”

I hung up again.

These three linked poems are hilarious, painful, and perfect. Very strong.

Thank you Doug. They were fun to write. I'm glad you like them and see the humor.

I'm on the floor. Congratulations on their publication!
They are so sad and beautiful.
Had to look up tungsten, so cool to read it in a line like that. There is something so painfully true in these poems, and it shines.

These, wow

young men
in pinstripes
and ball caps,
poised on green fields
against the bluest of skies.

his skin sallow
with tungsten light.
