+doc.8
My heart has been detachable
for years.
You can find it in a clam
in a well, in the Danish mountains.
Purple flowers grow over stones,
careless and expansive.
— Mahaila Smith, from "The Bugs Have Gone Away"

+doc.7
And now?
Who will pick you up?
Who will shake you?
What will you do
when you can’t be fixed anymore?
- Monty Reid, from "Vertebrata (Thoracic)"
It's turning towards late summer — nearly August — and I'm pleased to announce that +doc.7 is now available. This is a much longer issue than usual: at 46 pages, longer than any issue except the first. And it also features the most poets, four, making it the biggest issue so far in that sense.
+doc.7 features new work by Ottawa poet Monty Reid, American poets Ros Werner Winslow and Lily Herman, and Northern Irish poet Charlie McIlwain. To purchase a copy, Paypal me or send an Interac E-transfer to jcd748@mail.usask.ca (Canada: $4, US and International $6, payable in CAD) and include your name and mailing address. Here's to the rest of the summer!

+doc.6
& now that our lives have been reduced
to dark rooms in galleries
we will become the bad films they see.
- Clifton Gachagua, from "January: A Sequence"
+doc.6 is now available, containing new long poems by Clifton Gachagua and Connor Ferguson. These pieces are meditations on loneliness & yearning, expectation & routine - whether in Nairobi or the pandemic-restricted streets and rooms of Des Moines.
To purchase a copy, PayPal me or send an Interac E-transfer to jcd748@mail.usask.ca (Canada: $4, US and International $6, payable in CAD) and include your name and mailing address. Here's to company, to warmer days ahead.
