Stephanie Burt reviews Liza Hudock's Reveille in The Georgia Review: "It’s a rare virtue for a first book, knowing its own path (like the moth) so completely . . . More poets—and fewer lives—should turn out so well-made and so rough, so wise so early, so clear and so good."

Now Available from Flood Editions: Close Second Person by Graham Foust. “The poems in Close Second Person bristle with an indefatigable intelligence, a sense of erudition and information so dense one can only marvel at everything they have to say. Phenomenal.”—Matthew Specktor

Jay Wright, from Párodos (@floodeditions.bsky.social)
Hannah keeps her Sunday
skirt in a camphor box,
a small desert display,
a perfect paradox,
pious and quite profane.
Guido says she has lain
too long with all her clocks
set to love’s time, the stray
confusion of peacocks
left alone in a subway.

this prose poem by Liza Hudock omg @floodeditions.bsky.social
Sometimes my mother wants to sit up and look around. She gets anxious lying down. For this, I wedge myself behind her in bed, my feet against the wall to hold her up back to back. I ask her if we don't look like soldiers. A couple of grunts in the muck. She says soldiers would have cigarettes. She's gotten picky about comparison, she won't make do with a poor one, and anyway, our bodies have grown different. I touch her more sitting like this than I have in my entire life, her back delicate, muscles softened but still broad and full of recent strength. I got my back from her. Shoulder to shoulder, rib to rib. She didn't ask me for a mirror. She asked me for a match.

Once, you texted me
a line of poetry.

It wasn't one of the big ones,
it was the kind of line I like.

📚 7. THE LONG FORM by Kate Briggs. About: intimate forms of nurturance (holding, feeding, sleeping-beside). Also about: our raw experience of objects and phenomena, and our use of narrative to structure and convey this experience. Flawlessly balanced—easily my favorite novel of the 2020s to date.
