"But you can eat as much as you want"

Poems:

“Outage” by Raven Leilani: Interesting to see Leilani, who is best known for her fiction, branching out. This is both deeply felt and also pretty sappy, and that combination is, at least, compelling at first – having “expected weather” shades in the speaker as a character. But the ending doesn’t pay much off, it gets caught up in obvious double meanings and repetitions. Using the word “awe” to speak of awe is a generally unpoetic gesture.
