Only just now discovering this Lucille Clifton poem dedicated to Clark Kent.

No one lies on Instagram, right? At least, not us. We stand behind each and every one of our posts—as well as our impeccable taste in fonts.

We were away during the creepy days of peak-nationalism—also, avoiding the machines—but poetry never sleeps. Just like every insomniac loop, where a spectacular fail chases you from grade 3 straight to 4am. Write that stuff down, and send it to us! (Ideally, by AUG 27. Link is in the bio)

Alright, so as we futz about with our blunt thumbs and low-learning curve, this feed’s going to be a little choppy. The same is not true of our first issue, [case #1]! Visit APROSEXIA.org (on your desktop) to read the first-rate work of our inaugural poets!

Take a moment to read this contemplative piece from Brendan Bense. www.southeastreview.org/single-post/...
