From realpoetik at scn9.scn.org Mon Jan 10 09:29:13 2011 From: realpoetik at scn9.scn.org (RealPoetik Magazine) Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 12:29:13 -0500 Subject: [Realpoetik] REBECCA FARIVAR Message-ID: MY ELDER KINSMEN UNLIVING When a thing may or may not be real, you sense it as a half- presence, a source, a back-story you’ve hidden, thrown into the trough between two waves. Now monsters crawl to you, stalk you, leave the bogs and meres for you. A whole line died to kill you, but you’re here still. And yet you can’t break a- way. You are full of dark matter. That comes from your fathers, mothers, your brothers, your unnamed sister. Think about what haunts you, think of the waves, the meres, the monster-strewn shores of somewhere else, and then ask again what haunts. *Rebecca Farivar*'s poems have been published in *Denver Quarterly*, * Octopus*, *6X6*, *Parcel*, *cold-drill*, and elsewhere. Octopus Books will publish her first full-length collection of poems in 2011 and her chapbook *American Lit* (Dancing Girl Press) is also due out this year. A California native, she holds an MFA in poetry from St. Mary's College of California and currently lives in Bonn, Germany. -- RealPoetik www.realpoetik.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The problem is I can’t sit still: a child bored by the beach. And when I’m empty I echo, and it hurts – that’s something, a thing: one bird breaks the whole sky. *Rebecca Farivar*'s poems have been published in *Denver Quarterly*, * Octopus*, *6X6*, *Parcel*, *cold-drill*, and elsewhere.
