Hey, Lady

Thank you to Shaw Patton and everyone at Barzakh for publishing my poem “Hey, Lady” in their Winter 2024 issue. There’s a fabulous description of the magazine on the website describing the name which refers to “the connecting link, the “between” of something, such as different spheres of existence. As a temporal concept it can be, and historically was, considered an interval of time.”

And in the editorial note, Shaw Patton says “ “barzakh” in Arabic refers to a place between death and resurrection.” It’s a beautiful online magazine out of the University at Albany, SUNY.
