“Getting Rid of the Spider” by Joy Gaines-Friedler

Bigger Than They AppearHe said, I can’t cure her
missing childhood. Can’t be
her astounded father, replace her
unmothering. I can only crack open
this beer, listen to the crickets,
hope their calls don’t sound
too much like loneliness to her.

 “This small book would make any subway ride a treat for 270 days until you start over.[…] as W.C. Williams said in “Asphodel That Greeny Flower” (paraphrased) it has all the news that people die miserably everyday for the lack of what is found there.”

-Grace Cavalieri,
Washington Independant Review of Books
