- Poetry > Free Verse
I rode the rails from St. Louis to Chicago also rode them many other places downtown where my soul settles into its excitement and back to wherever I have to be, Purple and Blue, in and out of neighborhoods like Lakeview, suburbs like South Elgin stretching my limbs across the Midwest leaving ... - Poetry > Free Versebeer and meat, crooked teeth, tea, royal queen in the settled air and stagnant ways of new visitors from an old continent; but what of these things? I can see, maybe: corsets bustles beautiful snow-white skin, that hasn’t been bathed in weeks floor-length flower hair peace and love Ti...
- Poetry > Free VerseI’m not sure how I first heard the song “White Rabbit” or if I even heard it first Maybe I read the lyrics somewhere or looked it up after hearing Relient k’s song “Jefferson Aeroplane” Either way, it was the first time I’d heard that kind of psychedelic allusion to literature ...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionPatty cake, Patty cake, Baker’s man. Bake me a cake As fast as you can. Andy cooed back. Janine swept her baby up in her arms lovingly, protectively. She held him against her once-slim figure, more reminiscent now in silhouette of a flatfish than of a sand-filled timepiece. The walk fr...
- Nonfiction > Personal ExperienceI. The crumbly, feel-like-pie-crust-flakes embers are still settling in the air and faintly burning; their singed edges curl with a glow that is all that remains of a great devastation. Ashes, also, maybe, in deep handfuls of soil and their rich wetness, speckled with feather-gray. You taught me to...
- Nonfiction > Personal ExperienceI. 4 players, in teams of 2. Face your partner, sit down and get comfortable (you’re going to be here a while, maybe all night, or at least for the next 3 out of five), no table talk. Deal rapidly; never begin with yourself. Find that 2 of clubs! I personally either like to get rid of a suit or p...
- Poetry > Free VerseLeft shoulder shrug I just took it Tagged the signpost Riki Dare-stare eyes laughing already walking away, smooth-choppy hair swish Anyone would follow you like a piper That girl, the girl. Does exactly is exactly, doesn’t try to, as the only outlaw of the rules of almost anything. Stole ...
- Poetry > Free VerseIt comes again the liquid tingle burning my throat. I haven’t been drinking coffee, but you’ve been reading a poem and I forgot to blow on it first like soup or cocoa to cool it off cause it’s coming too fast too hot too brand-spanking new And I know you’re pouring it into my soul ...
- Poetry > Free VerseIf I could tell you anything I would tell you about the funny oatmeal I ate in Mexico two years ago. And about how a whole new universe—people, place, ideas— exploded my world when I started my job the summer after that, and I would tell you I really did hear of that band before y...
- Poetry > SonnetThe feel of seeming half of one made whole: You deserve this, you deserve this, you cry. But whether true or not, you shant but know, For who could ever tell you otherwise? To ask of love brings nothing but its loss, To long for it calls pain to make you lame, And yet naught is too high to be ...

Guide > College EssaysI'm dressed edgier than usual; this is actually what I wish I could wear every day. My black shirt features chains for straps and a gleaming silver jaguar. Fishnet tights show below long shorts. No school polos, no pressure to look professional or intelligent or pretty. Everyone here dresses compara... - College
Guide > College EssaysI’ve liked to drive next to water ever since my dad first took me to the harbor and let me coast around beside the vastness of Lake Michigan. He would make me practice reversing, three-point turns, letting the wheel slide through my tense grip as I bore left or right. I never believed the car woul... - Art /
