Without poetry, we lose our way.
—Joy Harjo, U.S. Poet Laureate & Academy of American Poets Chancellor (2019– )
◯ GASPING, GROVELING
◯ AS THE FOG ROLLS IN
◯ IN FOUR, OUT SIX
◯ ON A DARK & CLOUDLESS NIGHT
◯ WHERE YOU FLOAT AWAY
◯ A CHILL IN THE AIR
◯ LYING ON THE EXHALE
◯ MY LOVER’S BREATH
◯ THAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE HOLDING
◯ BLOW OUT THE CANDLES
◯ AQUARIUS ANGER
◯ ON A ZEPHYR
◯ FIRE BREATH
◯ A DRAFT IN THE ATTIC
◯ THE AIR OF SECOND STREE
◯ WHAT IS HEAVEN?
◯ FALLING APART AT 35,000 FEET
◯ TWO PARTS OXYGEN
◯ DRY HONESTY
◯ AS MY LUNGS COLLAPSE
◯ RED RELEASE
◯ AGAINST THE WIND
◯ CROSSWIND
◯ FLYING BLIND
◯ HOT HEART, HOT SIGH
◯ THE BREEZE TICKLES, TORMENTS
◯ TWO PILLOWS, SLOW COMFORT
◯ WHEN I EXHALE
◯ YOUR BREATH ON MY NECK
◯ IN THE SMOG
