Another NEW poem in The Rising Phoenix Review! 

"They said I was acting
like a hyper martyr
when all they wanted to do was control"

from the poem "Signs of the New Sun God", by j/j hastain and Juliet Cook, in The Rising Phoenix Review

NEW in The Rising Phoenix Review! 

"My socks are slinking themselves
down into the grave.

An orphanage of toes covered up
and left behind.
Replaced with younger legs
thinking of song lines from roads walked in other lifetimes.

Sometimes the microphone turns into a scalpel
and I begin to cut away
all of the shitty choices I made in the past.
I can’t cut them all out of my brain, but
I can modify the collages."

inside the poem "Inner Slinky" by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain, which appears inside The Rising Phoenix Review

NEW in YES, POETRY!

"Maybe it's better than missing
the parts I loved. Part of the problem
is that half of what I love is bad for me
and it feels like the only way
to tone down one bad habit
