EXCERPT from Matthew Rohrer's A SHIP LOADED WITH SEQUINS HAS GONE DOWN:


      SONNET

      He wrote amazing poems because he
      was fucking a wizard. This perspective
      mutilated all his expectations
      and he was naked. The wizard threw him
      a small thin towel to cover himself with.
      I’m sitting in a small bar in Brooklyn
      discussing his next move: surely his wife
      will climb the pyramid and leap off it
      because she is a butterfly. He is
      everywhere down there, in the air. Inside
      a tiny black bean. It’s not necessary
      to live like this, we decide. We crumble
      into our highballs, the city outside
      consumes things like an enormous creature.



With front and back cover art by Ian Huebert, Matthew Rohrer's A Ship Loaded With Sequins Has Gone Down is, at 33 pages, an immersive experience, one comprised of both serial poems and sonnets.
