I'd like to take a moment to congratulate Scott Alexander Jones on publishing his second complete book of poetry! I hired Scott as my professional editor for The Atheist's Prayer and without his input the book wouldn't be in the shape it is now. So I have plenty of respect and gratitude, and I expect poetry lovers to gobble up his work.


A teaser:

That finger on your temple is the barrel
of my raygun--

That wretched dull resonance

breaching walls where windows once were, here
at the end of all things

tells us nothing

we haven’t already been told

regarding nightjars--

That eyelid slit of light
beneath the bathroom door at the end of the hallway

yellow & yellowish & yellowing
as deciduous leaves

come winter

says one of us remains
awake at this androgynous hour

lighting candles meant to conjure azaleas.



If you liked that poem, buy the damn book! It will look nice sitting at home on your coffee table...
