The Massachusetts Review, Spring/Summer 2008

The current issue of the Massachusetts Review is especially queer and especially fetching, with contributions from Laylah Ali, Shelley Jackson, Eileen Myles, Frank Bidart, Lee Gordon, Marilyn Hacker, and many others.

From “Moments of Shared Glamour: A Conversation” by Gregg Bordowitz and Liza Johnson:

This constitutes amity. We confer and on this we agree:
All depends on who’s watching.
What’s spoken is what you see when I hear.
That’s how we feel the meaning of our words.
A rain storm where you smell it first
And the wind changes then it plinks and soon you’re covered in it.
Like sitting down to find the chair
Still warm from someone’s ass.

The entire poem is here.
