The new issue of the Spoon River Poetry Review is out with work from Jean Valentine, Marcela Sulak, Joshua Corey, Jeff Friedman, Hoa Nguyen, Yu Xiang, Rachel Zucker, and a poem by Jason Tandon:
APRIL SNOW
After we have pushed back
from the Easter table,
retired to the front porch
bathed in a late afternoon sun
where a couple of uncles
still have room to guzzle beer
and suck the salty marrow
from the cracked shanks of a roasted lamb,
an evening flurry
thickens overnight
into a six-inch snuffing
of the sodden, spring green.
