cartographic failure, by Jo Podvin

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. These poems are enthusiastic little glosses on zero, being, and alreadiness. Gesturing towards the ineffable by means of shameless wordplay, they exist as wee sly invitations to delight in rhythm, be swayed by rhyme. Watch as they tumble across the pages in a cavalcade of intimations, glimmerings, and whiffs. Jo Podvin lives in Oakland, California, on the Ring of Fire. Her work has been published in Gastronomica, The Scribbler, Bittersweet, The Canyon Chronicle, and Tricycle, and on the websites (and airwaves) of the public radio programs Forum (KQED) and A Prairie Home Companion. She occasionally posts missives on her Medium page.
