Straight ahead was the entrance to the

In fact, she is often described as distant and unapproachable by those who find her steely stance on racial issues intimidating. As the city’s local publication The Black Wall Street Times once put it, she has for many years
- [The Womb Specialist](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/the-womb-specialist/) - It’s too soon to see the doctor again, but here you sit in a suffocating press of pregnant-smelling women, each of them clothed in saccharine colors. It’s like waiting to be launched from a gumball machine. Anyone got a quarter, you want to ask. “Jeannine?” You follow the nurse, pee in a cup, step on
- [Motherless](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/motherless/) - You and Eddie Garcia pulled, from the storm tunnel in the cowfield that bordered your backyards, and from your own sere backyards, from amid wet, high weeds out in the field, from your green front yards, or the communal yard encircled by the houses of Westin Street, or from deep window wells, or from beneath
- [Beverly’s Cane](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/beverlys-cane/) - For Beverly Buchanan (1940–2015) Beverly can recite the Emancipation Proclamation using her cane for punctuation.

I think this in order to make myself less inhibited. As some things die back, others rise. Norman died today and I can’t help thinking about how the person he

Her art is made of motorcycle jackets and neon signs, of delicate drawings of disastrous fires. She once transformed her car into an art piece, drove it straight into the gallery, and left it with gleaming lights. Based in New

That claim is this: the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) should be considered a “historical force in its own right,” a kind of floral nation-state with diplomats stationed in every port. This poppy consortium acts on humans through a

The person filming Daddy’s funeral flips their phone sideways and jokes about the panorama required to capture a lion’s mane. The way nothing is wide enough to capture this fat coffin. Under me lies a body

- [To Our Readers](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/to-our-readers-10/) - 4 November 2022 One deep pleasure for me this fall has been the full return of in-person readings. My first words here expressed my central belief that “a print periodical is capable of cultivating communities in ways no other medium can.” The years since, spent working for the Review, have not so much confirmed this

How the humpback whale’s mouth expands up to 10 feet, yet the throat widens only 15 inches in diameter—how my esophagus holds memories: in constriction, in gasps. Whale’s body expels &

His ground-loving flip-flops making a broken ragtime on the street. Walking past. I was five. I had known a few dangers. Those hot Bāozi coming out of a steamer, for example. Those fast bites and a scorched mouth. Sān
- [Idolatry for Dummies [2022 Loraine Williams Poetry Prize Featured Finalist]](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/idolatry-for-dummies-2022-loraine-williams-poetry-prize-featured-finalist/) - Liberace had his lovers turn their faces into his own like a man-mirror. What is the opposite of this gesture? Something spiritual for sure. I am constantly reminded that religion is creepy but perhaps our sole hope for kindness. I am tired of being kind, of always being on. I’m lowkey surprised that cults aren’t

At one of them, there were lots of strange occurrences: a body was once found by the school’s main door, which opened onto the cluster of houses built into the hillside to its front. A side entrance opened onto a notorious traffic black spot, where countless buses

They should just read the poems to understand Rich.” This impassioned, frustrated interjection by a friend was in response to Hilary Holladay’s The Power of Adrienne Rich. The days and weeks that followed the book’s November 2020 release were filled with similar reactions as comrades read

I grope. I fidget. I wonder how to move. I must grow new limbs, new tails. I find myself entering the space of the flail. In their 2018 article “Genre Flailing,” Lauren Berlant describes the

- [on <i>Correction</i> by Gabriel Blackwell](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/on-correction-by-gabriel-blackwell/) - Marcel Duchamp coined the term readymade in 1916 and used it to describe prefabricated, mass-produced objects that the artist chooses and isolates from their intended uses, thereby elevating them to the status of art.

Or rather, where I’m from is trendy. Appalachia, especially its art and music, is having a moment. The chaos of the 2020s has left Americans collectively bereft, uneasy, hungry for authenticity. We are living through a maelstrom, and we all desperately need to touch grass. As

In telling the story of where I went wrong, my mom drew two lines to mark the turning points that led me down a singular, inevitable path toward a male babysitter who drew no lines at all.

Of the two, Ackland was the most visibly gender nonconforming: dressed in trousers, shirt, and tie, her hair cut in the “Eton crop,” she was often mistaken for a

Sindu’s second chapbook, Dominant Genes defies genres by combining elements of essay and poetry and impressing upon its readers that we are not one thing but many things, even many people, throughout our lives.
- [on <i>So Forth</i> by Rosanna Warren](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/on-so-forth-by-rosanna-warren/) - I want to elaborate three points about Rosanna Warren’s 2020 volume of poetry, So Forth. First, there is no better painterly contemporary poet, or perhaps no better North American poet, at transferring a painterly sensibility into language. After all, probably no one among her peers trained so intensely as a painter, and certainly no one

Prophetic and aphotic, this book begins at the microscopic level—photons, nanoseconds, subatomic forces—and ends at the macroscopic scale—fugitive motion, transnational belonging, the poem as a social terrain, ancestral grief, and the subterranean afterlives of the

This deep sense of subjectivity is somewhat ironic, however, in that many of their visual effects occur through controlled accidents of physical

Before that, I had heard him read a single poem, “Sunder,” for a 2011 Poetry podcast. Riley’s voice, its Southern slant and cadence, brings an extra layer to the song of his poetry, but

- [on <i>The Lying Life of Adults</i> by Elena Ferrante, translated by Ann Goldstein](https://www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/on-the-lying-life-of-adults-by-elena-ferrante-translated-by-ann-goldstein/) - Elena Ferrante’s new novel, The Lying Life of Adults, is not a book that asks to be liked—at least, not by adults. Adult readers are, after all, just more of those adults who wander through the novel’s pages, telling lies and destroying lives, and therefore the very audience that the novel—at least in part—disavows.

The novel hopscotches across hundreds of years, yet carries inside it relics of its origins in post-revolutionary Cuba.
