🚂 Aren't trains the best? April is #PoetryMonth! We discovered this 1935 ode to the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) in an issue of the “Interborough Bulletin,” an employee magazine published by the IRT which ran several subway and elevated lines in #NYC at the time.

As we lead up to #poetrymonth I am going to post some recent work that I have come across online over the next two weeks.

To start, today I am sharing this wonderful fragment of a longer work by Steven Ross Smith "Diptych from Petal & Fracture (manuscript in progress)," published in PublicReverie.com (h/t Theresa Smalec)

https://publicreverie.com/diptych-by-steven-ross-smith/

I love how Steven invokes the romantics, calling out with an exclamatory `O` as he rails against the all too relevant subject of conflict, the mechanics of war, and the blooms of grief inflicted on the human body, the families and communities broken in its wake.

As he speaks to " life in un/ fathomable billion-bloom" the language fragments, words spreading across white space of the page/screen, un-done-in by the tragedy inflicted on human society and its members.

Can't wait to read the full work!
