Dr. Kate Polak Publishes Four New Poems in Pioneertown and Rat's Ass Review

Congratulations to Dr. Kate Polak on publication of four new poems!

"The Exhibit" and "Porch Sitting" appear in Rat's Ass Review, and “The Letter Always Arrives at Its Destination” and “Tombstone Dish” are in pioneertown.

An excerpt from "Tombstone Dish":

This woman follows recipes
on tombstones,
doesn’t do it for any kind of point, just
makes the food, then eats it
at the grave. I think that this is the opposite
of mourning,
what the dead asked for: bring this thing that
I shaped back
to your lips, taste what I am made of.
