Valerie Coulton
$5
always writing
interrupting her notation of the present
wire bound
she places a plant on the nightstand
she cuts a recipe out of a magazine
there were poems about her &
she was satisfied with them
she was delighted
something in this language is deficient
chocolate wrappings
homemade soup
we complain about almost everything
we drink a cold beer
published in Ottawa by above/ground press

a/g subscribers receive a complimentary copy
