YOUR WEEKLY CLOVE “watch your siblings die but don’t go to the funerals. you have nowhere to cry. you kiss in private. you change your name, unless the judge says not to. your past is still an open wound” “it gets better (do you have proof?)” @smhxlden clovesliterary.com/stories/it-get…

Grateful to have a prose poem up at @CLOVESLiterary today.

YOUR WEEKLY CLOVE “I see it now: my classmates and I, in the sunlight, are surrounded by cops. The driveway is painted red and blue in couplets.” “Years from Then” by @ayeletpoet clovesliterary.com/stories/years-…

YOUR WEEKLY CLOVE “The weight of men in my pelvis aches bone, gnawing away at muscle until they are nothing but scrap, until I cannot hold the hand of my father or embrace him for the reminder of man makes me flinch.” “Scrape Me Clean” by @fruitloopzed clovesliterary.com/stories/scrape…


YOUR WEEKLY CLOVE “If people had seen her kitchen, they would never have bought a slice of pie at her bakery downtown. If they had heard the fights […] they would never have wondered where all the bruises came from.” “Kitchen Correction” by @_scoops__ clovesliterary.com/stories/kitche…


YOUR WEEKLY CLOVE “I didn’t want to be sweet. I wanted to be a house fire, an eighteen-car pileup, the storm you tell your grandkids about. I wanted to be devastating.” “Devastate Me” by @sarahbooradley clovesliterary.com/stories/devast…

Excited to have a piece coming out in May!

Alright, we’re for real FOR REAL back. If you were waiting on a new pub date, you have one waiting in your inbox. Feeling reinvigorated with a sense of nostalgic passion for this work. Bigger, brighter, sharper things to come. 🔥🚬

YOUR WEEKLY CLOVE “I can almost place her face somewhere. I stare at it until my eyes cross like it’s one of those optical illusion posters popular in the ’90s. And I begin to make out the day I went home with her after school.” “GoFundMe” by L. Soviero clovesliterary.com/stories/gofund…
