PANTONE 185C: A Poem from Jon Paul Fiorentino
There is a mostly red, cylindrical ashtray. Right there. On
a picnic table. Concentrate. It is mostly empty. You will notice there is one
half-smoked cigarette in it. A Viceroy. The red ashtray on the picnic table is
in the park and so are you.
Does the ashtray belong to someone? No. It did but it
doesn’t. What kind of red is it? You don’t know the name for it yet. It’s
similar to what’s

Feminist Boot Camp #6
When in doubt, dance.
Dress for it. Work it. Have fun with it.
Seriously. If I got my hands on this outfit I would have to write the poems that would go along with reading in it...oh, I think I have a project...

You are not alone. You need not limit your poetry to the kitchen, or the bedroom, or the garden, or the relational, or to the singular, or to the daily. Look around you. Look outside of your life. Look next door. Look in your books. These are not dead objects, they live. Throw long ropes with hooks back through time and bring another voice to life.

Mummified Barbies: Toward an Essay on Feminine Exteriority
We cut their hair off. Chew on the breasts. Paint their bodies. Slip a condom over their heads and dip them in Spaghettios. We are never quite so inventive in imagining our own bodies as when we encounter this sterile, unreal version of femininity. Our first canvas. Our first manifestation. Our first bout of hostility or reverence. One girl crying because the other has her Barbie in her mouth.

that it exists, and to offer an imaginatively and intellectually engaged
appreciation of it.
LH: If you write reviews, how would you describe your approach, or
method?
JZ: I do review, but not frequently because I do a lot of editing;
and the work in the two cases is very
