by Kristen Kosmas (Author)
This volume includes The Mayor of Baltimore and its companion piece Anthem from Kristen Kosmas, whose writing invents its poetry from the blunt, the found, and the discarded. A coterie of friends and strangers gather to celebrate a modest electoral victory. Oblique poetry alternates with the syncopated clatter of small talk. A brokenhearted refrain of disappointment underscores, and a tiny aria of self-revelation hangs in the empty space after the guests leave.
