New Atomic Sonnet in @image_journal :: I wrote this for Primo Levi, chemist and author of The Periodic Table (from which the chapter on Cesium inspired this sonnet), who still does not have his own element. This sonnet is my first move is addressing that omission. The second, forthcoming.

“I just want to find closure. I know. That's / why it took me so long to keep certain things for myself. Almost the same, the why, / the who. I've no need for memoir. All of it is here. Feral & still hungry. All of it true.” ❤️❤️❤️

New essay up on Shenandoah :: my Atomic Sonnet on Plumbum (aka Lead), a marker of hazard one must try and overcome. Grateful to my editor Chase Isbell, EIC Beth Staples and Shenandoah for publishing my sonnet back in the 75th anniversary issue. www.shenandoahliterary.org/thepeak/behi...
shenandoahliterary.org
Behind the Poem: 82Pb :: Head like a Hole{I’d rather die—}
Rosebud Ben-Oni introduces her readers to Plumbum, the element that animates her Atomic Sonnet with its propensity for destruction and an affinity for Nine Inch Nails.
