Cats, sunpatches, and other such joys.
José Miguel | Fernando Sanjenís Gutiérrez
José Miguel was sitting on the low yellow school chair when liquid brown began to trickle out of his red gym shorts. José Miguel kept his head down as the water ran down his shaking legs, staining his high white socks. Still, it flowed, hitting the side of his sneakers and forming an estuary, puddled on the tiled floor; I didn’t see him again until two decades later, when José Miguel, now bearded but otherwise just as I remembered him, disappeared and made the top story on the news for a week, reported missing by his mother and found on the beach dehydrated and disoriented.
Fernando is a Puerto Rican / Cuban writer and translator.

Larew’s newest collection of poems, published in 2025 by Alien Buddha Press.
Would you choose to be a torch-trumpeted cloud or march for the moon’s glowing? Do you believe in wonder?Then come soft barely into Hiram Larew’s This Much Very and go larking all loop-de-loop with himon this soul-searching ars poetica, this moving quest for love. — Terry Bohnhorst Blackhawk, One Less River
…a fascinating interplay of words – brought together as unpredictable partners – in embracing dances of self-discovery –-Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul and Mary)
Words and phrases must be thrilled and astonished to find themselves in the unusual, slant places that Hiram Larew’s distinctive style gifts to them. — Dawn Gorman, UK poet, editor and broadcaster

Well I’d fight for the moon in a heartbeat…
