Ocean Vuong - Summer Romance

In the summer, it is easy to have
the urge to catch a butterfly.

They flutter about making
acquaintances with all the strangers

while offering ripened melons
to sweeten the tongue's cracks.

But to see that fairy so frail in its flight
to believe those wings

could beat a heart to death
creeps chills as icy fruit

slips between my lips
like a smooth whisper.

Upon tasting its nectar
so cool, so satisfying

alone, the silence of a dark car
beckons the comfort of sound.

I whisper - what ifs- to an empty seat
while c...

Dove Sono I Bei Momenti

Dorothea Röschmann as Countess Almaviva sings 'Dove sono i bei momenti' from Act III of David McVicar's production of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), The Royal Opera, 2006. Find out more athttp://www.roh.org.uk/figaro

James 'Blood' Ulmer - In The Name Of

James "Blood" Ulmer is one of the few guitarists to have forged a style based largely on the traditions of African-American vernacular music. Ulmer is an adherent of saxophonist/composer Ornette Coleman's vaguely defined Harmelodic theory and plays with a stuttering, vocalic attack; his jagged lines speak with the authority of a free jazz improvisor and the accent of a soul-jazz tenor saxophonist.

Stephen Dunn - The Melancholy of the Nude

She was thinking it was time
to be naked again, to take something off
for someone more interested in her
than in art. She wanted to be treated
more by hand than by eye,

wanted her clothes pulled at, torn,
tossed on the floor. This sometimes
made it hard for her to pay the rent.
She was a professional nude, good
at being still for hours at a time,

and practiced at doing what she was told
in a world where she was both woman
and thing. Always she’d return from desire
to the equipoise of her job, sated,
