MFA Alum David Eileen publishes Amphigory in The Atlantic

Congratulations to MFA Creative Writing alum David Eileen on publication of a poem, "Amphigory," in The Atlantic .

an excerpt from "Amphigory":

Out here it could mean a very thin skin. Tissue house, card roof & flesh pale without blue under it. For example: Take the premise empathy's a mark of weakness. Trace the wet vein saying empathy makes you open to trouble at your door. Folks breed problems. Poke at it. Seems—full enough. There could almost be a pulse. [ . . . ]
