Prof. Becka McKay's poem "Leviticus as Punchline for a Bad Joke" in Chameleon Chimera: An Anthology of Florida Poets

Congratulations to Prof. Becka McKay on inclusion of her poem, "Leviticus as Punchline for a Bad Joke" in Chameleon Chimera: An Anthology of Florida Poets.

An excerpt:

The president walked into history

like a battery of gnats swarming summer’s

lost wine. Each commandment you unearth--

hued in chalcedony and anthracite,

divided with camels and cattle--

offers further fuel for the argument

with God: Did He mean, in the end, to punish

us or protect us? Are we experiment

or intention? The president was disgorged

into history, bad meat in a linen napkin. [ . . . ]
