We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Sean Bonney. His poetry lives on with us. Let us spread these essential words.

 

from Cancer: Poems after Katerina Gogou

for a long time now
have been aware of them
visiting my home
special registers of fog and rain
others are fucking on the floor
they sit among them
pale as morning
others are kissing
they recite deserted slogans
the cancellation of incidents
salts and luminous voices
with no body
with a pale sun
and death shall flee them

 

Here is the rest of “from Cancer: Poems after Katerina Gogou.”
