–Compare and contrast the acquisition of a language to its loss. Avoid the trap of merely saying that the latter happens in reverse order of the former. You are likely to do better if you see them as similar processes, though one leads to gain, the other loss.

from I’m not a religious person but / by Chen Chen
The angel sounded like me, early twenties, unpaid interning. Proficient in fetching coffee, sending super vague emails.
For mermaids and birdcages, from Poetry, June 2015. I’m still trying not to repeat anyone. On the days that I’ve mistakenly repeated a writer (once or twice?) I’ve posted a new poet that same day as well. So many poets in the world. If poetry is dying, so are clouds.

from British Museum, Neolithic Deer Antler Headdress / by Majda Gama
Here is age, dim word, the warp of it
In a glass case of remains from a time
Of flint and bone
poetry, publishing, and mentoring
