Excited to share that a poem from my forthcoming collection, Particle, has just been published at The Trinity Review.
More about the publication: “The Trinity Review is the literary arts publication of Trinity College at the University of Toronto. Active since 1881, the Trinity Review publishes prose, poetry, visual arts and non-fiction work.”
My poem, “Feast,” is a persona poem written from a character’s POV.
“Feast”
Melanie Faith
In the space between a green bruise
And a lucid dream, all milk-heavy stars
I was born. Snow-swept steppes,
Hollow legs. What a way to arrive
In earliest January,
She didn’t read my irony as irony.
Yes, yes she said, a way to crack open
The year like a muskmelon
Burying our faces full, up to the rind
