Rajesh Subramanian is a nice fellow from Chennai, India. He edits a journal called Modern Literature, and I thank him for including my work again this week. There are five short poems here: "Allium sativum," is about allergy, "How Cruel," about guilt, "I Lost It All," is about not losing it all, "In Jonah's Cavern," you can guess, and "Lines Across the Pacific," is about my childhood in the Parkside district in San Francisco standing on Ocean Beach, too cold to go in the water, and looking out hoping to see land beyond the horizon. I'm glad these poems are finally in the public eye. Hope you like them and hope you will read Modern Literature regularly. India is where English-language poetry is happening these days!
