My copies of Qwerty Magazine’s No! issue showed up in the mail yesterday. It’s themed around refusal in a lovely nuanced way — all the places no to one thing is yes to another, and the tensions between them.
I have two poems in this: “the silent treatment” and sonnet “he says write about death a normal amount,” which is regrettably a little ripped from the headlines.


But I’ve also paged through the first four or five pieces this afternoon, and they’re great.
Issue is available now!
