David Wheeler’s new book of poetry Contingency Plans, was reviewed in our most recent print edition.
Read this review by Thomas Turner (PDF).
Also, here is an appropriate poem from the book that we also ran in the print edition…
Lent
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, and
I am already empty.
Soot shrouds my brow, evenly.
a note left by a soul lent
to a warden who didn’t want it.
Call me brother. Console me
with a gentle grip on my shoulder,
or slap me on my back and knock
a small, fragile fragment
of faith or hope or love loose.
I’ve given up so many things.
