from Tonight This Is Our Last Song

There goes a man who loves his parents. Tell the people.

What the cops aren’t supposed to do—entrapment née sting.

A long list. The commissioner says blindness, hot item.

Laptops have been a hot item for theft since their invention.

Jagged cut in half, and half my heart is under a hood.

The rest yelling through the wall. Being a bad neighbor.

You want to get paid and I know you were taught that.

He hosted the parties, he didn’t really party. He was busy.

—Krystal Languell

I would like to congratulate you / You do not exist

Marc Paltrineri

Poems by Amanda Berenguer (translated from the Spanish by Gillian Brassil & Alex Verdolini), Jeremy Hoevenaar, Krystal Languell, Holly Melgard, Marc Paltrineri, and Cat Tyc.

Praise

I’ve long been an admirer of the American poetry journal 6 x 6 … Part of the appeal of the journal, other than the obvious appeal of a journal that supports strong writing, is the variety of form and style displayed in each issue, as well as translations from other languages (and countries), and a list of contributors running the length and breadth of emerging, established and all points in-between.
