Pompeii Again
Emmy’s work surges forward but leaves space: her voice is humble, quiet, but also: hungry, shattering and risen. We cannot express how excited we are to publish “Pompeii again” by Emmy and Untitled, a painting by Alessia Dismino from issue 142.1. Emmy’s poem “She Mosquito” was published in AV 142.2.

many cities must be
years more
unattainable the head but
how important a high
hungry sleep
alone the
dream summer and
myself meant
of whose approval
Salamun a sizzling
father holds my roof
to great rain listen listen
great fun it is
caterwauling we find
we are eating all fruits and
Pompeii again
