We’re featuring a haiku-a-day from poet Dan Chelotti (whose book x is out this month) as our way of celebrating National Poetry Month. Enjoy!
FRIDAY, APRIL 12.
Fiction writing friends
Meet me at Dickinson’s grave
You use too many
THURSDAY, APRIL 11.
Black mariah moon
Mandelstam picks up a stone
Lists lists lists lists lists
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10.
James Tate in the woods
Petting someone’s lost donkey
A bear looking on
TUESDAY, APRIL 9.
Queen Anne’s Lace orbits
Under high tension wires
My name is not mine
MONDAY, APRIL 8.
Cold storm-lit basement
Outdated gaming console
Red suitcase silence
SUNDAY, APRIL 7.
Bologna sandwich
Your machismo intrigues me
I will not fight you
SATURDAY, APRIL 6.
Don’t worry, students
I will grade your papers soon
(The moon is a whale)
FRIDAY, APRIL 5.
One sea cucumber
Seventeen sea cucumbers
Any difference?
THURSDAY, APRIL 4.
Dogen flea market:
Eagle keychains are eagles
Mountains in their eyes
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3.
Used bookstore glances
The gathering distance mounts
The internet breeze
TUESDAY, APRIL 2.
Pushkin in a dream:
Air conditioner repair?
You do not need this
MONDAY, APRIL 1.
Standing in Boston
Smoking outside the bookfair
I long for Boston
