This, my cluttered kitchen,
acts as pitiable throne room
for a semi-widowed queen,
whose king sits voluntarily dungeon-bound

Once upon a time there was a
young writer, which might be the
worst kind of writer to be.

I blame you, Sylvia,
for the awfulness of a white Christmas
and the revelation (while my mother
is driving home from work)
that people often freeze to death.

i knew the night i kissed your birthing scars,
when we shut the lights and were silent
and put our mouths about the other’s,
breathing the quietformed heat of latent organs –
unto ourselves sufficient, each the other’s cause and end.

These girls I knew,
It was like their
houses were sinking

The erection
of the
ichgeist
is inevitably
the diserection of the
siegeist.

& I feel sick when I think of
how your cunt must sweat in the summertime.

The Alfa Art Gallery invites you to join us for an evening with the exhibiting artists of the New Brunswick Art Salon, Spring’11. If you missed the opening receptions on April 22nd and May 13th, this is not only the perfect chance to see some amazing works but is also the opportunity to get an inside look on the creative process of each artist. The artists will work on their respective art pieces at the Alfa Art Gallery as well as give informative talks on their inspirations.

The Alfa Art Gallery would like to invite artists to submit work for the New Brunswick Art Salon, Fall ’11. There are two artist categories: newly emerging artists and professional artists. All submissions must be in by September 25. Artists will be notified if their work is accepted by September 30. The exhibition opening will be held on Friday, October 21.
