Spence Pfleiderer – A Simple Morning Prayer

January 16, 2022January 16, 2022 Nicholas Trandahl

The aptly-named A Simple Morning Prayer pleads for understanding and love, for connection and illumination in a handful of terse lines. This piece is evidence that a poem need not be complex or long-winded to be a thing of authentic beauty and power.

Kelly Joslyn – Before the Hunt

June 27, 2021June 22, 2021 Nicholas Trandahl

Kelly Joslyn's quiet and simple poem Before the Hunt is a childhood reminiscence of her father. The child's early-morning attentiveness to her father extends to the dim lighting and the smell of the tangerine, like looking at an old Polaroid of something from childhood.
