Peter Schwartz

Peter Schwartz has over 150 poems published, some of them in nationally-distributed journals, some printed overseas. He has stories and paintings published on and offline as well as his own somewhat controversial journal that can be sampled at: www.watchtheeye.com. He's also the associate art editor for Mad Hatters' Review and co- founder of www.sitrahahra.com. He lives almost silently in the forests of Maine.

the conversationalist

 

 

forever, a honeymoon on his shoulders

he seduces verbs

into speaking their electric

names

 

inside, who can count the rooms

this wandering groom has cultivated

and cut from

his rib

 

sacrificed, on unbreakable evenings

to know himself he

would sell his

very tongue
