BEST OF THE NET 2025: POETRY SELECTION LITTLE FUGUE WITH JEAN SEBERG AND TUPPERWARE “I tried to write papers about these things, but I found no meaning in the meaning.

In the end, as he’s dying, he tells her she makes him want to puke.” Diane Seuss (Under a Warm Green Linden)

INHERITANCE AT CORRESPONDING PERIODS OF LIFE, AT CORRESPONDING SEASONS OF THE YEAR, AS LIMITED BY SEX “Some species invent facts about the living to explain the dead.

Loving After Loss “all night long, the curtain was pulled back and dawn drew me toward it, through the dark hours in which, missing you, and feeling the strangeness of missing you along with her, i swarmed above the pages of a book searching for a lost syntax that could lead me to this new form of desire, desire after obliteration, i shouldn’t overstate this, the death of myself when she died, i shouldn’t overstate it: obliteration” Cass Donish (comp: an interdisciplinary journal) best of the net 2025: poetry selection @bestofthenetanthology
