Short. Rarely Sweet.

Eliza Griswold was recommended to me by Mckendy Fils-Aime when I asked poets to suggest other poets whose work I wasn't familiar with.

Griswold is primarily a journalist, and her poetry tends to be half-page poems that somehow manage to encompass both huge, international events, and small, personal parallels in about eight lines. They're rarely WOAH poems. Instead they're a series of quiet tremors.

​Pokemon Key Chain
Adam Stone

In the winter before the game's bold comeback
you bought a Snorlax figure
for the keys to my apartment
hoping it woud become our apartment
if you charmed it with the Pokemon most like me.
