Poetry

In the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Art
Nick Vagnoni, New College
I think of my eyes taking in the melted, softened light….

Broken Art in Sarasota
Katherine Shaeffer, New College
We wanted to lay out a blanket spread. . .

Realize La Paix
Gabrielle Grubka, Daemen College
And still we hide/Proud of our heritage/Yet unable to speak its language. . .

ON THE ROCKS
Pippa Breakspear, Fairhaven College
the first drink, first drug, lured me, seduced me…

The Dragging
Amelia Bird, New College
The frond and the curve that held it pressed
to the neck of the trunk falls to the driveway…

Breasts
Michelle Brown, New College
Boy scouts tie expert knots/from clavicle to lumbar

Skin
Asby Lankford, Pitzer College
We keep our distance/walk as though we want the space there around us…

Spot Rolling
Megan McHugh, New College
Her movements are hands waiting in sick laps…

Mark
Angela Bocchino, Daemen College
Our backs against each other/I could not see your face

7th Grade
Cara Sirianni, Daemen College
Change/a whole new life…

A Vietnam Father
Kelly Kupczyk, Daemen College
I was always scared of you/But I never knew/How your life had changed…
