Alumni Adam Malinowski and David Kuhnlein are two poets living and working in the Detroit Metro area. In this rare alumni feature, we share two of their recent formal poems.
A untitled Sonnet
by Adam Malinowski.
Sonnet to the Sea by David Kuhnlein
He wants to know
What words are for
& I speak
Them awfully
Slowly
So his
Dreams might remain
Afloat like the alphabet
Grown into the shape of amoebas
Forgive me
My tongue too much resembles
The underside
Beneath your tender
Belly
