Patrick Donnelly

Patrick Donnelly's exquisite new poem "Throne Verse" is now published in Plume. You will find many of the lines stunning, and I particular like these:

sometimes viewed from our bed, which / either went unmade or was made so particularly // as the only task I could complete all day / that I would not let my love help // and accused him / of not knowing how.

|| Patrick Donnelly and Stephen D. Miller's poetry was published in issue #8 of Cha.
