Ara Poetica with Midlife Dating and Wyatt and a Murder Ballad Has your longest love ever walked into the woods with someone else, slipped off the grid for hours, kissed her on a rock by the river? It's Elizabethan as the king's favorite hound in her embroidered collar, as a hind and a hart at daybreak, as naked foot stalking your chamber floor; it's a play in a wooden O; a cypher; we are but the players, filling it an hour, short as spring, lush and too beautiful in saturated greens in recounting my sadness taking place unchristianly during holy week, a friend responds: I'd read your "midlife marriage novel," and I say I'd title it Murder Ballad—who is getting murdered? asks our third friend, anxious. My feelings, I say, which are Southern and dramatic. Ah, she says. I'd read the hell out of that. -HAN VANDERHART

I have two new poems in Issue #2 of slips slips—this one features midlife dating and both members of my writing group, @nematode.bsky.social and @jgriffingraham.bsky.social 💜

“it's a play in a wooden O; a cypher; we are but the players, filling it an hour,
short as spring, lush and too beautiful”

Rural Existential: Memoirs in Verse 10:00 AM-11:30 AM Poetry New Dominion Bookshop Two authors turn to poetry to tell personal stories of being and becoming. Son of a Bird by Nin Andrews, written in prose poems, explores an unconventional rural Virginia childhood, focusing on family secrets and the profound, often strange, relationships with the author's Black nanny and farmhands, all while grappling with instability, loss, and her own burgeoning self-discovery. Larks, a book of poetry by Han VanderHart, also turns to a rural landscape, one resonant and yet quiet with unspoken truths and traumas. Genealogies, farm creatures, mythology, and sisterhood inhabit their haunting lines. Han VanderHart Author

[The dream says it’s more stripper] by Zoë Ryder White "You bring the tea cake, the sweet demeanor."

"See how it compensates?
It gets sloppy. It spills
down its bra. It’s sticky. It howls.
Milkweed. Remember?
You’ll be enmeshed soon."
