So happy to sign on with our talented author of Sadie In Love again, Rochelle Distelheim! Her new novel Jerusalem as a Second Language has the same mix of fun characters, hilarious moments, and wise reflections as Sadie, but with its own moving story about a Jewish woman Manya and her family leaving their home in Russia in the 1990s to live in Jerusalem. It’s artsy and exciting and it’s brilliant! I can’t wait to share some excerpts with you all!

2 more days on the poetry countdown! Here's another of Jared Pearce's poems placed in Adelaide Literary Magazine.

Without further ado, here's poem #4!

DAD'S STAYING AT MY HOME (3)

When he slips between rooms, he tips
on the light switch, does what he sees
he had wanted, and then leaves, the room
blazing like seventh heaven through the winter.

As a youth I was vigilant to keep those
unused lights dead—Dad had economized
the California darkness, pared-down
my wasteful flicks, until I was a Tarzan

swinging from circuit to circuit. Now I tread
on the light he wings sparking the house
with electric bolts. Look up, boy, he says,
and the miniature angels burrow into my brains.

Time for #3!

Dad’s Staying at My Home (1)

Before breakfast I’m listening beside the curtains:
Birds, I say, out at the feeder; a couple, maybe.
Quite a few, Dad says. He pours milk
on his porridge and in a bite halves his toast.

He has explained he knew, when my aunt died,
that he could pull her back from beyond the
veil
drawn over her irrevocable blue eyes,
but he also knew God had stopped him cold.

I don’t remember if I told him I had a vision—
if it had mattered that I had seen the face of
God,
that at one point I, too, had touched back
my mind’s drapery and counted every sparrow.

Here's poem #2!

CUTTING

One would have her leg
hacked, another an arm—
such appendages seem easy
to divide. But others went
for fashion: buttocks
and trim the thighs, or my head
must be ten percent my body
mass. And some for bits to cheat
loss by removing every other toe,
one ear, the incisors, hair.

Until she said her
too big breasts, worthless
lobes, too in-the-way,
too defining, the two great balls
chaining me to womanhood,
making me a sex—these stones
strapping me in a drowning
when what I want is to be held
with a light grace, apart
from what I am or am not.

Without further ado, here is #1!!

ALL THIS LOVE

She’s working to remove the grass,
the grass I’ve worked to grow and green,
the welcome mat I’m holding out
to God, she wants turfed for flowers,

a giant stone, and when I arrive I see
her cutting the yard into patches,
rubbing her sore wrist from mining the clover.
She hopes I’m not angry because

she loves me, she says, she wants me
to rip my lawn in half, she wants a thousand
hours of care sacrificed at her delphinium
altar, she’s willing to wait two hours

for me to finish knifing my weekend bits
to a rubbish pile. It takes me a little
longer because I’ve got to pick the grubs
out the roots and feed them to the robins.

Reading ‘Slaughterhouse-Five’ in Baghdad: What Vonnegut taught me about what comes after war

For any Slaughterhouse-Five fans, this is an amazing article about how Kurt Vonnegut's depiction of war and trauma resonates just as well with survivors of the war in Iraq as it expresses the author's experiences in WWII.

Who knew time-travel a metaphor for PTSD?

War is not confined in the past, Kurt Vonnegut wrote 50 years ago. Neither are his lessons.
