Never been much of a love poet, but here’s my attempt at writing a love poem for my love, published in the Winter 2025 issue of @sixthfinch. Thanks to Rob MacDonald for giving this piece a beautiful home.

Evil: An Interpretation β€” TriQuarterly I’m lecturing my 7-year-old on evil, again. 

"He thinks horror / is the shadow, not the man rounding the corner, // looking familiar, maybe even saying hello."

If you've ever whispered apologies to a tree or made eye contact with a particularly judgmental seagull, we want your eco-themed art.

Now open for Fiction, Poetry, Nonfiction, Translation, and Art!

Post image "Physics, Lapsing" by Christine Barkley

I am psychic
about the physics
of pain; lack of 
limitation, expected 
reckoning. Sometimes I think 
I have no imagination,
though when I say I think I mean
I worry which is a thing 
akin to imagining, or else 
married in. Then I won't 
ever marry, I say, 
engaged. I will predict 
a future, not tell the truth.
For what instead 
are rings my punishment?
An entropy of bone, 
tendon, ligament. Laws holding
fast some center where
I'm not ever there, always not 
inside anything, only losing
light and mind like new nickels 
through an old seam.
And I can’t sew up. Calm down.
Clean house. I’m the worst
of daughter or wife, unrelated
or witholding, fucking 
off for the evening. 
The natural state 
of life is night, 
so this is all the time. 
I'm bad at physics, bent 
into the biology 
of this illness.

The doubled thrill of having a poem in @haydensferryreview.bsky.social and sharing an issue with writers like @jrigamonti.bsky.social and @rosebudbenoni.bsky.social!

First post here, I guess! Feels fitting that it's my much-anticipated (by me) poem, "Semantics of Shock," with @yalereview.bsky.social.
