Alexis Pope, from A Healthy Relationship, published in Ghost Proposal
I’ve listened to Talking Heads on repeat three separate times today. On my drive to work I pulled to the side of the road and took a picture of the most amazing rainbow I can remember seeing. How does anyone relax these days? Who’s going to love me til I’m dead?
Kelly Lorraine Andrews, “Letters That I Never Wrote,” published in Ghost Proposal

Thanks to the editors at Ghost Proposal for publishing two of my poems, "My Secret" & "You show up" in their new issue, alongside brilliant work by Richard Meier, Kate Magnolia, Abraham Smith, Heather Cox, Dan Beachy-Quick, & others.

Usually my poems have a title before they have a body, and often they remain the most plainspoken declaration of the finished poem as a whole. They are like the more-articulate parents of the poem in this way.
